Football, Jesus and ninja sound like words that might be associated with some form of a youth group game. In fact, I may have played a modified version of ninja football on a retreat years ago. Interestingly, these words can be found on the list of the 25 Most Popular Passwords of 2012.
So What?
Reality check. Apparently many people still don’t take security seriously. How else could the #1 most popular password be “password”? Also appearing on the list are baseball (#10), sunshine (#14), master (#15), football (#20), Jesus (#21), and ninja (#23).
- Do you know anyone who still uses a password that is on the list above or something equally simple?
- Roughly how many different passwords do you have? How do you keep up with them? How often do you change them?
