If you see your password in the below list STOP reading this post and immediately go and change your
password.
If you think certain passwords like "qazwsx" are strong passwords, then just have a look at no.23. Still if you have no clue why it is on this list, just see your keyboard in the order of that alphabets.

 Here is the first list provided by SplashData:
1. Password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
6. monkey
7. 1234567
8. letmein
9. trustno1
10. dragon

Last year Imperva  relaesed it's own Top 10 worst list:

1. 123456
2. 12345
3. 123456789
4. password
5. iloveyou
6. princess

If you haven't seen your password in that list, then that is a good news. Someday we will use more authentication schemes, such as bio metrics. until then, all we have is passwords so we ought to keep them strong.
