For what seems like the umpteenth time, "123456" and "password" are the most commonly used passwords this year.
Those combinations sit in the number one and two spots respectively, according to SplashData, who evaluates millions of leaked passwords each year for its worst 100 passwords list.

Other illustrious newbies include "111111," which was in sixth place this year, then "sunshine" in eighth, and "princess" in the eleventh spot.

"Hackers have great success using celebrity names, terms from pop culture and sports, and simple keyboard patterns to break into accounts online because they know so many people are using those easy-to-remember combinations," Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData, said in a statement online.
