It turns out most of us still need to be more creative when it comes to picking our passwords. A new study found that the most popular passwords last year were "123456" and "password". Seriously? You people still haven't got the message yet? How has anyone with those passwords NOT been a victim of identity theft?

Actually, they have. The company that did the study looked at the millions of passwords that get stolen or leaked each year. Even though most of us know that our passwords should be much more complex, those two were the most popular last year AND in 2014!

I get why people try and simply passwords. It's because we have so many of them! Think about how many things you log into on a daily basis. I have my personal email, work email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, my banking websites. The list goes on and on. But remember, making your password easy for you to remember also makes it easy to swipe.
