The linked article does nothing more than link to that article and include a link to a "convenient" text file with the top 25:
123456, password, 12345678, qwerty, 12345, 123456789, football, 1234, 1234567, baseball, welcome, 1234567890, abc123, 111111, 1qaz2wsx, dragon, master, monkey, letmein, login, princess, qwertyuiop, solo, password, starwars.

The title should be most commonly stolen passwords of 2015. It isn't very surprising to me that easy-to-guess passwords are the most stolen.

Depends how they're stolen. If a site that wasn't using unsalted hashes for storing them was hacked, then it doesn't matter how guessable they are.

He also messes up: the first "password" is all letters; the second one (near the end) substitutes a 0 for the o "passw0rd"

#7I often either reuse a simple password or use a stupidly simple one for sites that require a signup but for which I do not care to interact with in any meaningful way.
Have to create an account on some new startups app?
username: newstartupname_myname
password: 12345!
need to sign up for a "trial" account to get access to content I probably don't even want? same thing.
so while I'm sure that there are way too many people using 123456 for their insurance or financial service login, does it really matter that someone's password to Cnet or foodnetwork is simple and easy to guess?

slow clap

#10I'm seriously tired of dealing with passwords. With the availability of email on everything including your toaster. Every site should offer token based authentication. I used passwordless on my last side project, and it's super convenient.
