You know those lists of "the most common passwords"?
I was looking at one of those because I actually want to use a really common password or two on occasion. The thing is I'm skeptical that these are legitimate lists. Most things these days require at least 8 chars with a numeral. But these lists are full of alpha only short passwords. The ones that are 8+n are a little to clever for me to think that they are all that common.

Is there anyone here that can send a list of most common passwords from some system that requires 8+n or 8+n+symbol/caps whatever? Or a link to one you think is "real"

Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean by "real", but one of the most common passwords is perhaps "password" (or some variation of it) because some people find it highly original to answer the phrase "enter password" with a literal "password". And its true, this is probably the newest idea ever seen on the internet and i wonder why that never came to me ...

Anyway, there was a discussion about password lists on stackexchange and there are several links mentioned. Further information could be found entering "cracklist password dictionary" into your favourite search engine.

I hope this helps.
