CHECK WHAT IS YOUR PASSWORD: These are the worst passwords used in 2013. year

Instead of complicated passwords which can protect your data , a large number of people use short and simple passwords that are easy to break .

roviding safety experts for years warned Internet users to exercise great caution when choosing passwords to protect mails , profiles on social networking sites , sites for online data storage like Dropbox or SkyDrivea and many other online services . Specifically , instead of using a long and complicated passwords that include upper and lower case letters, numbers and various signs , a large number of people use only a few simple letters or numbers and such code can easily penetrate to the hackers without major problems can get their hands on a number of private data user .


Also , it is very important that the same code never used for various services because if the hackers get their hands on your user name and password that you use to access mail , the team will be able to access information easily and numerous other private data - for example, if access Facebook and Twitter are using the same data as the mail , people who get hold of your mail and password will have no trouble accessing profiles on social networks .

However , due to the large amount of services that we use today , many are too lazy to use a number of different usernames and passwords so that they often use the same password for e-mails and social networks , and in many cases it is about some simple passwords that are easy to remember , but also easy to break .

SplashData company that develops applications for managing passwords published a list of the worst passwords that were used 2013. year , largely on the basis of information received after the big hacker attack on Adobe and stealing millions of passwords of their users .
