Is azerty123456 password is secured enough? 🤣🤣

I’ll never change mine - CNNsucks

Had to change my password at work the other day. Called help desk & got a system generated password, which was... password. Called back, same automated system, same response. Called back a third time, got a human being and an actual password. The machines are taking over.

Shocked poongoblin isn’t in top 8! SMH

Make sure you notify John Podesta

If you're a phony shallow simpleton, we're gonna need you to think just a bit deeper the day you set your password.

Hahahaha!!! What?!?! I guess those people are not so tech savvy, uneducated or old, based on their choices!!! Watch out LFC and ManUtd fans!! Hahaha! Time to get creative! Maybe 'yellowcard1'?

My favorite password is dog's name hates cat's name. Have to remember where the caps are. I don't have a dog or a cat anymore, but used pet names from 50 years ago. I'm in trouble if they ever make me add a number or special character.
