If there are sites to generate passwords, many users not to torture the mind and to choose the simplest possible password as evidenced by this new study Splashdata. This company, specialized in the management of passwords annually publishes its "top" passwords to avoid.

While we had hoped for a revival of interest in the security of the users to the different suites piracy cases that marked the year 2014 (Sony and Avast on the business side and the Celebgate that made ​​many victims or among celebrities Madonna end of the year), password "123456" or "password" are still widely used.

Indeed, if the 25 passwords published by Splashdata represent only 2.2% of all passwords exposed by data piracy in 2014, a rate lower by Mark Burnett, it still represents several million users .

If on top of this list there is no change, the password "12345" is distinguished with a jump of 17 places on the podium and at the expense of equally original "12345678" which appears in fourth. For the rest, we note a few entries that seem to follow the news.

On the side of the sport first, with the word "baseball" (8 th), the "football" (10 th) that benefits a year of world cup but also "michael" probable reference to Michael Schumacher. The series most pirated of 2014, Game of Thrones, has also given ideas to users since the word "dragon" made ​​a splash in the top 10 (9 th). Finally, the superheroes have also odds with the presence of "Superman" and "Batman."

At Juicer, we advise you to go on the CNIL site that explains "  How to build a secure password and manage its access codes  "or to use the various password generators to help you choose a good password. Finally, please enable two-factor authentication to increase a little more security for your different accounts. This option is available in many web giants like Google, Microsoft, Apple or Facebook.
