The 25 most popular passwords of 2013 prove people are just as naive as ever

It would take a desktop PC about
233 million years
to crack your password
Length: 18 characters
Character Combinations: 26
Calculations Per Second: 4 billion
Possible Combinations: 29 septillion
 
It would take a desktop PC about
7 hours
to crack your password
Length: 9 characters
Character Combinations: 36
Calculations Per Second: 4 billion
Possible Combinations: 101 trillion

And I thought my password was pretty strong :p
 
I just had a laugh cos this is the result for the office network:

Your password would be cracked almost
Instantly
 
i'm glad that none of my passwords are on that list.

-*-

my 2 fav passwords will take 48 years and my most used one 10 days.

Bassed on past IRC experiance, very real. Back in IRC days I use to do things like this, my fav was normally telling people to change server for less lag using "/server cityname" Only to get X has quit, the best was once in ZAgaming in shadowfire where I cleared the room with above method.

Pity I lost my drive that all the prank screenshots where stored :(
