| Your password is the key to your online presence |
If you are not someone who just got access to the internet for the first time like 10 minutes ago, chances are that you have a password. The question I am asking you right now is: how safe is your password? I am sure you imagine it is quite safe and since you don't share it with anyone, your personal information, online deeds and misdeeds are all safe.
Err... that is not quite true. SplashData, a company which makes password management applications, has released its annual "Worst Passwords" list compiled from common passwords that are posted by hackers.
Have a look at the list below:
1. password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
4. abc123
5. qwerty
6. monkey
7. letmein
8. dragon
9. 111111
10. baseball
11. iloveyou
12. trustno1
13. 1234567
14. sunshine
15. master
16. 123123
17. welcome
18. shadow
19. ashley
20. football
21. jesus
22. michael
23. ninja
24. mustang
25. password1

I am sure this list would not exactly be the same in Nigeria but there are quite a good number of bad passwords here that would make Nigeria's 25 worst passwords list. Let me give you a tip, if you use your telephone number as your password, you might as well add it as No. 26 on this list.
Hehehe!
