The Ten Most Poular Passwords


10. ‘thomas’ (0.99%)
9. ‘arsenal’ (1.11%)
8. ‘monkey’ (1.33%)
7. ‘charlie’ (1.39%)
6. ‘qwerty’ (1.41%)
5. ‘123456′ (1.63%)
4. ‘letmein’ (1.76%)
3. ‘liverpool’ (1.82%)
2. ‘password’ (3.780%)
1. ‘123′ (3.784%)

Many of the samples were taken from the UK if that makes any difference. I would agree that many of those are probably the most common in the United States as well, like “password” (last I heard it was the number one but that must have been from a different survey). However, in the United States a password like “liverpool” would probably not be as popular
