Good article.  A few years ago, I heard a computer consultant say he could often determine passwords by briefly talking to computer users.  This was because people often use the name of a spouse, child, or pet for a password.

I'd better change my WPA2 password for my router. It's among one of those in the article :O

Yes, passwords for WPA security in routers should be very solid.  Here's a helpful website for that purpose: http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/WPA_key/generator.php

I'm actually not too worried. My neighbors are two young children and their mom/dad, the other side is a guy who works nights, so slim to none chance they know about wi-fi.

The password that really cracks me up is "password".  It's common for an IT department to set up new users on a network with "password" for a password, with the expectation that the new user would change it to something meaningful to them.  But years later, they are still using "password" as a password.

It was listed as the fourth most common password.

I like to switch things up and use "username" as my password.
