Most people are their own worst problem. Some years ago we got a copy of the password file (no associations with any accounts) and found that the following accounted for over 50% of all passwords:
  • sail
  • gold
  • silver
  • honey
  • love
  • password
So much for security for these folks. (Sail had over twice as many hits as the next entry.)
Sail? Are there a bunch of sailors out there that don't bring it up, or something?
