As most of we know, one should not use passwords that can be easily guessed. Like "password or 123456 or username etc etc" and sometimes you must have experienced that some of the obvious password are not accepted during registration.
Twitter has hard-coded some 370 banned password on the sign-up page. A small step to security although very essential.
Some of the password include simply words and some of the most dullest and commonly used password
few examples of which are
- password
- testing
- naked
- stupid
- twitter
- 123456
- secret
- please
- beavis
- butthead
- internet
- hooters
To view all the 370 passwords all you have to do is go to Twitter's sign-up page and view source, and simply perform search for ‘twttr.BANNED_PASSWORDS’ and bingo here are all the 370..
For the full list, simply download this TXT file, uploaded by techcrunch guys...
Do if one of your favourate password are in that list .. do stop using it ..
