"Seeing passwords like 'adobe123' and 'photoshop' on this list offers a good reminder not to base your password on the name of the website or application you are accessing," says Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData.
SplashData's list of frequently-used passwords shows that many people continue to put themselves at risk by using weak passwords. Some other passwords in the Top 10 include 'qwerty,' 'abc123,' '111111,' and 'iloveyou'.

So dear readers, kindly, and for your own online safety, dont use passwords that have been listed above. You also should not set the name of someone personal or your Birthdate as your password.
You should always make your password by using alphabets-numbers-alphabets-. You may also use uppercase, lowercase letters or symbols.
Be safe...................
