  Password Stealth Level  
I come across one of this website and I feel to laugh when read the list of the password that most people used. It's call the The 25 Most Popular Passwords of 2012 - And I hope after you read this article, please do use other password that have a strength level much harder to guess.. you can do that.

alright, here is the list - okay, don't laugh at it.. take it seriously.


The rankings were created by SplashData who gathered the data from the millions of stolen passwords posted online by hackers in 2012 and ranked them in order of popularity. It's all similar to year's past but we've got some new additions at the end of the list in Jesus and password1. Yay for religion and online services demanding you add a number to your password!
