The list of most common passwords of 2016 includes a few surprises
-
Security breaches and data leaks are, obviously, a major concern, but they do have something of a silver lining. Leaks of passwords may open up the risk of individual accounts being targeted, but they also serve as a fascinating insight into the level of security people use for online services.
And a lot of very familiar, very depressing items

My favorite password that beats most security requirements is: asdf123$ The best thing about it is that I can do it with just one hand.
Begs the question, what are you doing with your other hand?

We see this list every year but where does it come from? Who is keeping these un-hashed passwords and then revealing them to the public? Isn't that even less secure than a pathetic password?
Slogans aren't solutions.

It's the collective result of every breach of passwords that are either unhashed or so badly hashed (eg unsalted MD5) that they're brute forced in the last year.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

More companies than you can guess. ..and it is weird that they are not responsible for any damage caused by their (non required) leaking of passwords. So no, not going to change quickly, since no company will change their codebase if there's no good reason to.

No sir, it's a technique to decrease steps of entering a password. By not having to lift my right hand off of the mouse while I reset someone's domain password, I reduce steps and get back to real work. That is much easier and efficient than doing the typical P@$$w0rd.
