None of mine is there!!
But I know a production web server that has one of those in its database............. Those ITs never learn
*raises hand excitedly* "Sir, sir, I got 13/25, do I pass? Do I pass??"
Ahem. Wow, the combination of the first few numbers occurs repeatedly. That's disheartening. On the other hand, all of the words are common english words or names, sure makes me glad I use multilingual passphrases.
Not even close.
Use a mismash of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols to get the best out of passwords..... 15+ characters are also a bonus if allowed by the program/system...
I'm not there, gateway to trouble using common words
Yeah, I guess in trying to see how malicious software does its work discovering passwords from hashes or whatever could be considered a part of their job duties. I just figured they would find more benign targets to do their testing and confirmation of success.
Then again I guess the only way to assure the widest array of setups/configurations they would have to target the outside world.
