And the worst passwords of 2013 are...

Seriously, 123456 is not a good computer password. Neither is the word "password" very useful as a password.

In fact, the two above-mentioned passwords were rated the worst passwords of 2013, according to the password management company SplashData, which released its annual list of the top 25 worst passwords of 2013 this week.

To rate the bad passwords, SplashData used files that were posted online containing hacked passwords from the last year.

Notably this year, password was no longer the worst password. It was knocked into the No. 2 spot by 123456, which is currently the worst password. Passwords featuring variations on the words "adobe" and "photoshop" also made an appearance on the list this year, due to Adobe’s giant password breach in October where millions of accounts were hacked.
