It is very common for people to use passwords that are easy to remember...for obvious reasons. But have you ever thought of the potential consequences of using a commonly used password? By using a common password you are putting yourself at major risk, in order to help PCMagazine has reported the top 10 most commonly used passwords:
1. password
2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123
5. letmein
6. monkey
7. myspace 1
8. password 1
9. blink182
10. (your first name)
I'm sure that many of us have used at least one of these passwords once and I highly recommend no one to use these any longer. Please remember that this is just a list of ten and there are many other commonly used passwords. In order to be safe make sure to use a password that is not a word found in the dictionary and uses both letters and numbers.
It is truly amazing how advanced hackers are, therefore in order to protect yourself from many potential dangers - please use a unique password for your accounts (not only web hosting). I also recommend that you don't use the same password for every object that is password-protected. Hopefully some of these tips were helpful and our support team is always ready to answer any questions you may have.
