Digital Security (Assignment 1)


        In the worst password list I think some of the passwords would be really easy to guess, however there are a few that I would probably not even think to guess like qwerty for example and adobe123 I probably wouldn't think of either of those.  From the list I have used some of these passwords like "1234", "000000" and "111111"  I feel kind of stupid for using these passwords now because they are so common and easy to guess and anybody could access my accounts or information. My thoughts about the list are it's pretty accurate.  Yes I think seniors and adults are more likely to use these passwords because they want something simple, like my mother for example uses really simple passwords something like the ones in the list.  Things we can do to save them disastrous consequences would be to show them the list and convince them to make up new passwords.  Three more passwords I can think of that are not on the list are "696969", persons name, or "2468".  In order for a modern password to be considered strong is it should not be just one word it should be a full sentence.
