Got an email from my domain provider this morning re passwords and while it seems to be common sense I wonder if many people went oops.
"According to a report, most users still haven"t answered the call by security experts to implement more robust passwords. In fact, in a list of the most easy to hack passwords, simply typing "123456" took a truly forgettable top prize. Other key findings in the report: it seems that almost 1 in 3 users choose passwords comprised of six or fewer characters; more than half use passwords based on only alpha-numeric characters; and almost 50 per cent used variations on their name, popular slang terms, or simple strings of consecutive characters from the average QWERTY keyboard -- such as "asdfg".
