Password 1

If you have the number 1 at the end of your password – change that...

You probably know that your pet’s name is not a good password – but putting a “1” at the end is no help. Security expert Roger Grimes says the numbers 1 and 2 are the first digits that professional hackers will guess – and they’re usually at the end. They also know a capital letter will probably be at the beginning and followed by a vowel.

Hackers also know that women use personal names in their passwords a lot – while men use hobbies more often. If you’d like a super secure password – consider using a random password generator.
