Technology has been trying its hardest to squash the password. Banks, social media, online shopping websites, they all require the utmost security when creating your login credentials. You must use at least one capital letter, one special symbol and a number in order for your password to be considered, “weak” but you know that it works so you just move on.

Then there is the password replacing systems that use your finger or your face to sign into an account. There are even sites that allow you to create a gesture to sign in, or use your voice to prove it is really you.

Despite the agonizing process of coming up with the perfect password or biometric based login, it is obvious, based on the list of most popularly used passwords, that there are some sports fans who have found a way around the authentication system.

SplashData released its list of 25 worst passwords in January 2016, showing avid account users that it is probably not the best to make your password 123456 or the ever loved: password.

But now, the company has released their top 10 most popular sports passwords gathered from the top 100 worst passwords of 2015. Below is the fan-favorite list.

  1. football
  2. baseball
  3. hockey
  4. soccer
  5. golfer
  6. yankees
  7. jordan
  8. chelsea
  9. rangers
  10. nascar

These passwords are at the top of any cybercriminal’s list of passwords to use for breaking into email, banking, or social media accounts. So, if I were you, I would get to looking for a new password.
