This article is about the worst passwords of 2012. Many people still use the simplest passwords like “123456” , “password”,etc. The problems of those password’s users always got hacked by other people and may suffer from the loss of confidential information, which may transfer to a financial loss or even physical harm in the future. Therefore, a password is really important which should not be easily guessed by other people. SplashData CEO Morgan Slain suggests that people should use passphrase like “dog_eats_bone!” instead of a simple password. The attractive advantage of a passphrase is easily to memorize for a user and hard to guess by untrusted people. To protect our confidential information and to avoid from unnecessary losses, people should consider about passphrases whenever they set a new password.
