RE: Worst Passwords For The Year
Those ridiculous requirements need to go. Upper case, lower case, special character, number etc.
Passwords should be a minimum 15 characters long, and that should be the only requirement.

So much easier to remember and so much harder to guess/hack.
The problem comes with, is this a password for a hash, or a password to enter a system.
If the krackers have the hash, like in crypto-currencies, then they can guess passwords as fast as their little computers can go. And so strings of dictionary words are just as easy as small strings of letters.
But if it is a system, where the system only allows one attempt every 3 seconds, then these strings of words are very strong.
