Password1.

Gotta get that capital and digit in there.

Some time ago I ran a fair number of encrypted passwords from a midsize institution, about 10,000 passwords, through old Muffet's Crack, and it got a decent percentage, 17% ISTR. The password that had initially been assigned was also very popular, as were similar passwords, camel case or reversed. Season names plus numerals were popular, too. On one occasion a female luser called to get a password reset, and first line support were told the password to get her to try, the really embarrassing one that she'd forgotten.... how we laughed at the call recording!

Oh god cringing here!
I'd forgotten my password for a rural Northumbrian auction house I sometimes use. Very well to do owners. I messaged asking for help (their system doesn't offer a reset link) and the female co-owner messaged my passwords. OMG. I can't say here what it was but to see the filth and debauchery I'd used as passwords was quite embarrassing!

PMSL Laughing That reminds me.... when I get pissed off with the OTT questions for a simple crap site I want a technical download from (for work) a that method to generate a password, assuming they'll never see it , but quietly hoping they do.

Even use a mickey mouse email, generated by the same means as you can quite often get the download without any conformation of email.

Ah... the little things, that get us through the day eh?

I tried "myp3nis" as the password but sadly got the reply that it isn't long enough.

Aaaah-thankyou! I'm here all week!
