With the latest news of the largest security breach at Anthem I thought it might be a good public service to list the Top 25 most used passwords (as compiled by SplashData). I hope you don't use these.

SplashData also offers these tips to be safer from hackers online:
- Use passwords of eight characters or more with mixed types of characters.
- Avoid using the same username/password combination for multiple websites.
And as a back up, because we all have difficulty remembering our passwords, write them down in a little journal.
