Alright, unless you've been living under a rock, you are probably aware of the best types of passwords to have such as a random mix of capital letters, numbers, and punctuation. I'm willing to bet, however, that you may use your dog's name for a password for at least one website!
Google has released the results of a study on the most hackable passwords. Here's their list of the ten worst things to use for a password-
1. The names of your pets.
2. Important dates, like wedding anniversaries.
3. A family member's birthday.
4. Your child's name.
5. Another family member's name.
6. Your hometown.
7. Your favorite holiday.
8. Something related to your favorite sports team.
9. Your significant other's name.
10. The word "password."
Come ON people!
