Keyboard Walks

Patterns like "qwerty" or "123456" are the first things hackers test. They are virtually identical to having no password since they are top entries in every cracking dictionary.

Personal Context

Avoid using names, birthdays, or pets. Automated attacks scrape social media to build personal dictionaries for individual targets. A unique password is statistically safer.

Suffix Padding

Adding "!" or "123" to the end of "password" doesn't help. Modern systems automatically test these common variations on every word in the dictionary.
