Banned Twitter Passwords
Today on Twitter, @mathewi directed me towards this interesting article (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/27/twitter-banned-passwords/) on TechCrunch regarding 370 passwords that Twitter has banned from being used. A few of my favourite banned passwords include:
voodoo
tucker (my old dogs name)
vagina (who does that?)
swimming
alexis
rosebud (clever… but apparently not so clever)
naked
cheese (I want some cheese)
beavis (really??)
butthead
biteme
& helpme (I can’t even imagine why someone would think to use this as their password, but enjoy imagining the scenario in which it might occur)
The entire list can be found here at http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Twitter-banned-passwords.txt
Take a browse - you might reconsider some of your own passwords after seeing this list.
