Last year the new starwars film added a few new passwords to the annual list, this year we are back to pretty much the same old favourites.
There are a few new entries (flower, sunshine), but the rest of the list are the same or slight variations on the normal culprits (password1).
It always amazes us that despite warnings people are still using the same basic passwords that are in top worst passwords lists every year.
So if your password is mentioned below or on our previous lists you should change it urgently, If you are not sure how to create a secure password check out our article below.
Your password should be at least 8 Characters long and be a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
Don’t reuse your password, if someone gets hold of your password they will try it on other sites, so try to create a unique password for each site you use. or at least for important sites e.g. your banking keep that password separate.
If your not expecting someone to send you an attachment or a link then treat it with extreme caution as it could be virus/malware.
3) Enable two-factor authentication.
If possible enable two-factor authentication, this will send a unique code to your mobile phone to confirm your login. this will prevent most attacks.
Most of the large web companies now offer it e.g. Facebook, google, twitter etc.
4) Use a VPN to protect your communications.
A VPN will both encrypt your data and prevent people from tracking your location. But they do oftern slowdown your connections and some services will detect if you are using a VPN and ask for extra validation.
With lots of data breeches happening to multiple large and popular websites and business, it is very possible that a password you use has been compromised especially if you use the same password across multiple sites.
Amongst the sites that have been Compromised are VTech, Adobe, Ashley Madison, Adult Friend Finder, Sony, Tesco and Minecraft Pocket Edition.
To check whether your password has been compromised follow this link https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords if will take you to an easy to use website. Just enter your password and it will see if it has been leaked.
The new eagerly awaiting Star Wars film came out in December, breaking all the box office records. This was not a massive surprise, but what is a surprise is how the Star Wars has had a big effect of peoples password of choice with 5 of the Top 25 passwords inspired by Star Wars.
Apart from some new entries the rest of the list is very similar to the top worst passwords we mentioned in 2013, 2012 and 2011 (see below).
So if your password is mentioned below or on our previous lists you should change it urgently, If you are not sure how to create a secure password check out our article below.
