Using your own, or anyone’s, name in passwords is bad practice
How many people in the world have the name “Anna?” How about “Ava?” According to Cybernews, 89,494 and 78,800 people respectively used those two names for passwords. Even if this wasn’t their own name, even if it was the name of their child or the owner of their favorite corner store, it’s not worth putting a name, no matter how common, as a password, especially if it’s not used in a complex phrase. Similarly, surnames like “King” were found 70,666 times by Cybernews, while “Bell” was recorded another 62,891 times.
Some of the most-used names included:
Anna
