Who's who of bad passwords!

DateTuesday, January 18, 2011 at 4:28PM

People pick poor passwords.  Try saying that 3x fast.  As seen from the Gawker hack to Rockyou, people love to pick passwords that are no better then the combination that an idoit would have on his luggage.

Troy Hunt has a great write up about certain sites (Tom Tom, American Express, Singapore Air) which promote the idea that passwords MUST be poor.
