Passwords - surely no-one is this dumb anymore

[PhilSAFC]

Manchester United have a far bigger fan base.

Globally yes

To be fair it's an unbelievable lucky shot to guess someone's password.

Believe me if you work in IT like I do and knowing some of my users, it's unlucky if you can't guess someone's password.

These are the easiest passwords to hack - is yours one of them?

I use 13456 they'll never guess that

I think the bigger problem is the amount of people who use a universal password for all sites because they struggle to remember them otherwise. One site gets hacked, passwords sold on and the whole packs of cards collapses.

used to be a decent footy streaming site , but he got caught and went to jail. and someone got hold of database of customers and said site was coming back (shite version) people signed up tho.

was a lad of here spotted me on there chat thing and gave me password for free for the site (he streamed for them) and said they are very dodgy, the password & email people signed up with on there site , they then went on and logged into paypal, amazon etc with same details with sucess on many accounts

I expect there to be at least 2 typos in that.

If you type your password out on here it is visible for you but stars if for everyone else look, here's mine:

**********

I can see it but it will be censored for you, try it

The terrifying thing is. This would work on the likes of Facebook.

As we have seen with recent elections and the referendum we should never underestimate the stupidity of the masses.

I wonder how many SMB passwords include “1973”

Back in the early 2000s fox sports used to run a fantasy soccer league (which only required a team name and a password to login) and I used to spend the odd hour or so going through the mag teams who had their passwords as 'St James' or 'Shearer' and change everyone I'n their teams to Sunderland players. Had a few top league teams who suddenly, and inexplicably, exchanged Tierry Henry for Kevin Kyle.

Sure I read that something like 15% of Sunderland supporters have that as their PIN.

I consistently used to forget my work passwords until I changed them to the name of the IT techy who used to reset them. Job done.

the whole internet banking setup would have fell on it’s arse if we’d won a couple of weeks back

 

[Smartin]

Must add a number to a password, i bet most people just add 1.

[Snugster]

I tries to use "beefstew" as my password but it was refused as it wasn't stroganoff.

He'll always be locked out of his accounts though - he must have the SMB one saved...
