Is your password 'hackable'?? The 20 Most Popular Passwords

 Just recently my hubby's email account was hacked - what a pain that is! He had to change his password again...and he hates doing that!  So he always tries to choose something simple he can remember which turns out to be something easy to get hacked!  Next time you need to change your password, remember to use a character (ex: %$*@#), a number or two, an UPPER case and lower case letters....in and around your "simple" word! 

As it turns out, according to one password cracker, the three most popular passwords among Adobe users, whose accounts were hacked are: "123456," "123456789," and "password."  Click the link after the passwords to read the rest of the story.
