Star Wars Terms among 2015's Worst Passwords - Scientific American

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/star-wars-terms-among-2015-s-worst-passwords/

"If you read our previous reports, you won't be shocked that "123456" is still the most common dumb password, with "password" still occupying the No. 2 spot. The rest of the top 10 were similarly eye-rolling: "12345678," "qwerty," "12345," "123456789," "football," "1234," "1234567" and "baseball," in that order.

SplashData also drew attention to three relatively new entries: "princess," "solo" and "starwars." "

    Client certificates have been around since 1988, yet I've not heard of a single bank in the US that uses them. The federal government actively discourages development of secure public email. Sorry, the world's full of morons, and everything's always someone else's fault.
