From top 50 most used passwords, almost half a million people are victim of that .Passwords made up by simple series of numbers, or the same number repeated six or seven times.

Iloveyou, dragon, monkey are top 20 most used passwords in addition to that while ‘myspace1’ was ranked 25th place. It seems like these passwords were made for early social sites and forgotten accounts.

Like numeric keys simple and common names are also used millions of times. These names include, ‘ashley’, ‘daniel’, and ‘jessica’ and ‘charlie’ ‘michael’ used 300,000 to 400,000  times.
