however, given that the stolen Adobe passwords included close to 100 million test accounts and inactive accounts. Counting those passwords on the list is kind of like setting a home run record during batting practice. Don't be surprised if "password" regains the throne in 2014.
Weaker passwords are more susceptible to brute-force attacks, where hackers attempt to access accounts through rapid guessing. And when encrypted passwords are stolen, weaker ones are the first to fall to increasingly sophisticated cracking software. As always, Splashdata suggests avoiding common words and phrases, and says that replacing letters with similar-looking numbers (such as "3" instead of "E) is not an effective strategy.
Instead, consider using phrases of random words separated by spaces or underscores, and using different passwords, at least for your most sensitive accounts. Password management programs such as LastPass, KeePass and Splashdata's own SplashID can also help, as you only have to
remember a single master password. Here's the full list of worst passwords in
2014.
