Do yourself a favour

This is the list of the top 500 most common passwords.  These are the ones that the bots try _first_ when they're trying to hack your account.

If you have any of these passwords, for God's sake change it.

I have one password that I -thought- would be common, for accounts that I mostly don't care about. (For example, I use it for newspapers that require a log in.)

I'm shocked that it wasn't on the list.

(On the other hand, I have used 'password' for one account that I obviously do NOT care about.)
