In recent blog posts, we have focused on the importance of
\nhaving a secure password to thwart fraudulent id verification<\/a> attempts.
\nAccording to ZoneAlarm.com, these are the 20 most common passwords of all time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 123456<\/li>\n
  2. 12345<\/li>\n
  3. 123456789<\/li>\n
  4. Password<\/li>\n
  5. Iloveyou<\/li>\n
  6. Princess<\/li>\n
  7. Rockyou<\/li>\n
  8. 1234567<\/li>\n
  9. 12345678<\/li>\n
  10. abc123<\/li>\n
  11. Nicole<\/li>\n
  12. Daniel<\/li>\n
  13. Babygirl<\/li>\n
  14. Monkey<\/li>\n
  15. Jessica<\/li>\n
  16. Lovely<\/li>\n
  17. Michael<\/li>\n
  18. Ashley<\/li>\n
  19. 654321<\/li>\n
  20. Qwerty<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    So now we ask you, are any of your passwords in the above
    \nlist? If so, you are at an increased risk to have your email, online banking,
    \nand social networking accounts hacked. And even if you use one of these
    \npasswords for a less important account, like one you hardly log into, a hacker
    \ncan gain access to that account and possibly use the information in there to
    \ngain access to your other accounts.<\/p>\n

    The Wall
    \nStreet Journal<\/a> had an article Beyond the Password that talks about just
    \nthat. Some companies are requiring code tokens in addition to passwords, which
    \nis an additional code a person will temporarily have access to and have to
    \nenter it along with their password. And other companies are requiring     knowledge based
    \nauthentication<\/a> questions to be answered if activities are different than
    \nnormal.<\/p>\n
