6th most commonly used password online – MONKEY
Do you know what’s the most commonly used password online? When it says online, it means everything that need a password to gain access to online stuff, like instant messenger, emails, websites, online games etc. The most commonly used password online is password. I used to use password as my password in the old time, only now I realize I’m not the only lame one. The following is the list of top 10 most commonly used passwords.
Most commonly used password
- password
- 123456
- qwerty
- abc123
- letmein
- monkey
- myspace1
- password1
- blink182
- (your first name)
I don’t know what’s blink182, rank number 9 and letmein, number 5. Educate me please someone? Wondering if people love monkeys so much, it’s also included in top 10 most commonly used passwords, ranked at number 6.

I have never used any of these passwords in my life including the 10th one!!!! May be I think I am so unique
Hey you didn’t understand letmein??? dont read it as ‘let mein’….read it as “let me in”…Now that sounds meaningful…

I also never use that since I know how to use internet…
@Mr.Byte: I read it as “let mein” before this. Thanks for educating me. Now I guess I might use it on my not-so-important stuff or not reliable websites. Let me in, nice..
@Tara: A band name is one of the most used password? They must be somebody then
Vincent,
The first time I heard this password (maybe a month ago) I made a search on google. I’ve never actually heard their music.
Cheers,
Tara
What’s interesting is that a lot of people still use those passwords.
Offtopic: Yay the smileys are back
But when you comes to spammy websites, and you dare not to enter your real password (like those website who won’t turn your password to ***).
qwerty is wat?
The first 6 key on your keyboard.
