The Most Commonly Used Passwords

When choosing a new password, we are often faced with a dilemma. While on the one hand, we want a password that is easy to remember, we don't want it to be so obvious that someone else could guess it.

It should come as no surprise that when hackers try to crack into other people's accounts they first try the path of least resistance. Below, you'll find the most commonly used passwords, as identified by PC Magazine (via Yahoo Tech). If you use one of these — or one a lot like it — better change it:

1. password
2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123
5. letmein
6. monkey
7. myspace 1
8. password 1
9. blink182
10. (your first name)
