The list for the most common passwords of 2015 has been published.

If you’ve ever wondered what passwords does your boyfriend, wife, mother or best friend has, this list might help you make an idea, as these are the 25 most common passwords in 2017.  These passwords come from users in Western Europe and North America.

The list was made from 3.3 million passwords that were leaked during last year. The list was originally made by Splashdata, which is a web security company. The most used password in 2017 is the same password that took the number one place for five years in a row, and if you are not familiar with these types of list, find out that it is 123456. The  word password was again in the top three, as always. The extremely simple password shows that not only many people lack originality, but that their personal information is not very secure and it can be very easily hacked. The new passwords that made the list for the first time were starwars, solo and princess, linked to the Force Awakens movie for sure.

Other obvious and unoriginal passwords that made the list include qwerty, baseball and football. And probably because the latest Star Wars movie was released this December and there are a lot of fans all around the world, the number 25 was occupied by the starwars password. Having such simple passwords means that almost any hacker or person close to you can guess it so after you read this list, make sure to change yours if it is as simple as these are.

According to SplashData, even though the passwords were bad, at least the last year the users tried to make their passwords longer, and thus harder to hack. In the past, the passwords were shorter and especially the ones that contained some characters that are in order on the keyboard. For example, qwertyuiop and 1234567890 have entered the list for the first time and are longer version of the more commonly used qwerty and 123456 passwords. Another new password on the list and that was a bit ingenuous is 1qaz2wsx, which is formed by the first two columns of a regular column.

Here are the 25 most common passwords in 2017,  in the exact order: 123456, password, 12345678,qwerty, 12345, 123456789, football, 1234, 1234567,baseball, welcome, 1234567890, abc123, 111111, 1qaz2wsx, dragon,  master, monkey ,letmein, login ,princess,  qwertyuiop, solo, passw0rd and starwars. If you are one of those people who thinks that having such an easy password means that no one will think of it, think again. And change that password.

Wide Receiver Reggie Wayne Not Returning to the Colts

By Leave a Comment

WayneIndianapolis Colts, wide receiver Reggie Wayne will not be returning. Grigson stated that Wayne, who wears the number 87 jersey, has a long history of greatness and that among the players who define the team, he is one of just a few.

By the time Grigson arrived in Indianapolis in 2012, Wayne was already well on his way to becoming a Hall of Famer. No one on the field or in the team’s building for that matter contributed as much as he did. As expressed by Grigson, Wayne was a key contributor to the growth of the Colts but also the team’s overall success.

During the team’s comeback against the Green Bay Packers in 2012, Wayne was the catalyst that kept the Colts motivated and fired up. Based on his performance and attitude for that one game alone, other team members quickly realized there was no obstacle that could not be overcome.

While his dedication and the way he led the team by example will be missed, Grigson and everyone associated with the Colts’ organization wishes him well.

In regular season games, Wayne is the franchise leader, having played 211 games and chalked up 143 wins. He also ranks number second with his 1,070 receptions, 14,345 receiving yards, 80 touchdowns, 43 100-yard games, and 134 consecutive games having completed a reception. In the history of the NFL, Wayne ranks seventh in career receptions and eighth for receiving yards.

Jim Irsay, owner of the Colts said that Wayne is without question one of the greatest men in history to ever wear the Colts’ horseshoe. For the past 14 years, he has been incredible to watch. While no one wanted to see the day come when Wayne would leave the team, owners and coaches new that one day that decision would be made.

While Irsay is sad to see Wayne leave, he also feels the decision is what is best for the team but Wayne himself. He will now have the decision of playing with another team if he wants.

He was drafted by the NFL in 2001 as 30th overall pick, chosen to play in six Pro Bowls, and in 2010, he was named Associated Press First Team NFL All-Pro. Wayne leaves behind an unrivaled legend with the Colts. His lack of presence on the field will be noticed.
