Figuring out the worst password on the Internet is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Splash Data has come out with its annual rankings of the worst passwords to use online.

“123456” has the dishonor of claiming the top spot, knocking “password” from number one for the first time since SplashData began compiling the list. “123456” was number two last year, the spot now occupied by “password.”

SplashData’s rankings were created by analyzing files of millions of stolen passwords over the last 12 months. If you want to make sure no one hacks into your eBay account and starts bidding frivolously on old Herb Alpert records, SplashData recommends using at least eight characters mixing numerals, letters and symbols, along with spaces.
