Article: The 500 Most Common Passwords

I came across a list of the 500 most common passwords (originally from http://www.whatsmypass.com/?p=415 and from Perfect Passwords by Mark Burnett). I've de-HTMLized the list and its now available in text format for easy parsing. It will also be included as a plug-in for Yasca, my source code analyzer.

The ten most common passwords from the list are:

• 123456
• password
• 12345678
• 1234
• (a type of feline / female body part)
• 12345
• dragon
• qwerty
• 696969
• mustang

• 123456 (0.6%)
• 123456789 (0.17%)
• alejandra (0.10%)
