Common Password List..

You know if someone wants to break into your account they can use a program that can guess your username and password. If they already know your username that is half the battle. For example, nearly every company will have an email address with admin@example.com. Now it is just a matter of guessing the password. Programs can look to a password list.. try admin@example.com as the username and try a password... if someone want to break into your account... the definitely will. Make no mistake about that one. 


But my point... here is what a list of common passwords. It would be interesting to see if you have a password that you use regularly is on this list!
