Have you ever logged into an ex’s email because you knew the password, and, hey, why not? Yes? That’s very naughty of you. What would be even more criminal is if you didn’t know the person’s password and tried to get in. We don’t want to aid or abet criminal behavior, but MentalFloss.com broke down some of the most popular passwords. Man, people are lazy. The top four passwords are 4) abc123, 3) qwerty, 2) 123456, 1) password. Others in the top ten were monkey, blink182, and letmein (as in “let me in” not “let mein,” a noodle dish similar to “lo mein”). [MentalFloss.com]
