The list of the worst passwords of 2014 is out and it looks almost identical to 2013. That's not to say all crappy passwords were repeats, 696969, football, baseball, Batman and Superman are all new to the list.
"The bad news from my research is that this year's most commonly used passwords are pretty consistent with prior years,” Burnett said. “The good news is that it appears that more people are moving away from using these passwords. In 2014, the top 25 passwords represented about 2.2% of passwords exposed. While still frightening, that's the lowest percentage of people using the most common passwords I have seen in recent studies."
