Bad Password Analysis Dictionary Words
In this delightfully “bad” dive into password hygiene, we scrape millions of leaked passwords for the first dictionary word they contain. The top ten words (love, baby, password…) barely scratch 5% of the total, and a whopping 21k words appear only once. We also compare happy vs. angry vocab. Turns out love trumps f**k by a healthy margin. The takeaway? Stick to random passphrases; dictionary words are a playground for attackers and a source of endless amusement for analysts.
