you shall not pass

I just saw this slideshow of the Top 10 Most Commonly Used Online Passwords, according to PC Magazine. The top four:

1. password
2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123

Um, really? No wonder it's so incredibly easy for hackers to break into online accounts. Are we really that un-creative, or are our memories just so bad that we can't handle anything more complicated? And honestly, why don't more people use antidisestablishmentarianism? I figured that would at least be #8.
