My password is password
Or why you should stop worrying about passwords and just enable two-factor authentication….
If, like me, you have several e-mail accounts, a few forum accounts, bank and credit card accounts, eBay, paypal, Apple, gym and numerous others, you probably have a small number of passwords that have some level of re-use or even variations on a theme.
For example, your gmail might be Pa55w0rd!, your bank account Pa$$w0rd! your credit card P4ssw0rd123 etc.
If you can find any variant of it in the top 500 worst passwords list, then you have a problem.
Unless you are using two-factor authentication that is.Â
