Is your password too obvious?

An internet security expert has said that broadband users need to vary their passwords more. We should use a different password for each site that we log in to and try to avoid obvious passwords. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos says that as we use so many different sites it is important to use different passwords for each to avoid loosing our online identity. Having a different password for each site helps you to stay safe if someone gains access to your information.

The most commonly used passwords are

1. password
2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123
5. letmein
6. monkey
7. myspace1
8. password1
9. link182
10. (your first name)

A good password is one that is hard to guess but easy to remember.
