The problem with passwords.
I think teaching people how to come up with secure passwords is something that's been sorely neglected, as that list illustrates. I know a lot of people still use their birth dates and anniversaries, too, which are negligibly easy to find.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
But if my password is 'dragon123', I'm fine, right?
Yes, but not drag0n123, because that's already taken by me.
James Fallows had an interesting article in the Atlantic about what can happen if your password falls into the wrong hands.
What happened to Swordfish?
