I just posted the article Guessing Hotmail passwords - as easy as 123456.
Is your Hotmail password the same as the combination to your luggage?

I like this part:
Perhaps there is a direct correlation between people’s likelihood to choose a stupid password and their likelihood to fall for a phishing attack or get infected by spyware.

I thought at this stage that most e-mail providers (especially Hotmail) would force the use of numbers and letters and to at least do some validation checking, e.g. that the password is not using a sequence (e.g. “cdefgh”.)
As most membership based services will send a password reminder to the owner’s e-mail account (e.g. with the ‘Forgot your password’ link), these accounts are in-turn only as secure as the user’s e-mail account password. Of course, using the same password for multiple accounts doesn’t help either!
I remember when I set up my Paypal account, it had nice way of preventing users from using the same password used elsewhere. After I finished setting up my Paypal account, it required me to change my password before I could start adding any cards details to it.
Only a moron would use a password like 123456.
Smart people count backwards.
