Choosing a password is not only a personal act, it is a very important one. There has to be some trade-off between using a password that is so difficult that no one would figure it out, and using one that can be remembered. According to, 2,200 cyberattacks a day are attempted and a strong password is a very important defensive tool. Even though most know not to repeat passwords, 25% of people use the same password on more than 11 sites and apps.
The most dangerous music-related pop culture password to use is Eminem as the rapper's name was discovered in 286,263 data breaches. If you use the name of an actor as a password, do not choose Zac Efron. The actor's name showed up 24,268 times in data breaches. The most dangerous password to use based on video games is Minecraft, which was seen in 215,934 data breaches.
If you want to create a secure password, create one that is at least 14 characters long. But use a combination of upper and lower case letters and special characters. A 14-character password comprised of only numbers can be cracked in under one hour. Also, do not use a date for your password, especially a birthdate, wedding anniversary, or any date that can be easily looked up. Don't use personal information as a password either, such as the name of a current or past pet.
