Woof. This is why it’s critically important to use a password manager. We simply have too many accounts to remember unique passwords, and repeatedly we see some of those accounts will get breached and your details stolen.
-
Anyone have a link to the actual list? [Or, more specifically, has haveibeenpwned incorporated it? I can't find anything on their site stating so.]
-
The article says their tool “will” include the new ones, so I plan to check it and haveibeenpwned in a couple days.
-
https://haveibeenpwned.com/ is another option that has the largest data base of passwords, phone numbers and e-mail

password123 is still my password of choice.
-
Nah, I'd say the passwords from Hackers (1995) such as love, sex, secret, god are the best.

-
So, only passwords, right? Not associated with usernames?
-
I would assume that because the original rockyou list was always just used for dictionary brute force attacks, so no associated usernames.
-
Correct. This is a brute force dictionary. It's a very powerful tool, but it's applications are severely limited. Any well designed system has protection from brute force attacks. It's mostly useful for stuff like cracking encrypted databases, which would be a situation where the target is entirely under your control. You can't just break into someone's Gmail with it.
