Many people use their pet's name, or some variation of it, as their password. When they change their password, they stay "with the theme" which means they keep using their pet's name but may change it slightly, for example, adding symbols or numbers to the name. t
There are users who keep a short list of "My Frequently Used Passwords" so when they change their passwords, all they do is rotate or shuffle them so that those are the only passwords that they ever use.
We all love to show pictures of our pets on our social media accounts, especially when they do funny things. But using a pet's name as part of your password is not the best idea, especially if you mention the pet's name when you are flashing their pictures.
An alternative is to add numbers and symbols to make the password harder to hack which is good, but in some cases this is also not the best solution because people tend to add 12345, or their address, their phone number, birthdate, pin number or other significant number.
Don't do that.
The following list is not a list of the most common names that people name their pet. It is a list of pet names that are most used as passwords and are also the most hackable.
