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.

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.
