Here we are talking about password safety. People chose passwords without giving it much importance. Among popular choices are place of birth, date of birth, or some popular and easy to type phrases and digit combination like qwerty, asdfgh, 123456 etc. despite knowing the fact that there are hackers around who always try to hack user accounts for their malicious intentions.

According to a new research the most popular password for the last decade was “12345”.

Other popular passwords are:

Says a new research.

So the key here is to protect your passwords for the safety of your accounts. Some easy steps are:

• Use a mix of upper case, lower case letters and numerals.
  Use special symbols like @, $, &.
  Never disclose your pass word to any one.
  Never save your passwords in excel or word file and name it password, because if there is any spyware residing on your pc, it can transfer the data to other servers.
  Use keyword simulation software which works using mouse, instead of typing with keyboard while logging to different accounts.
  Frequently clear your cookies and temporary internet data.

So always keep your passwords safe and make it impossible to hack.
