starting this disscussion with '12345678" and "admin123456" most of the wifi routers have these sort of passwords,same is with email and facebook passwords,i think these sort of passwords should be banned because its getting easier for the hackers day by day,guessing process is very easy for all those intelligent hackers,Date of birth,mother's name,wife's name,daughter's name,all these passwords really very risky,Please don't use it.. What do you say?

I may sound rude, but if someone is that stupid that they set such obvious phrases as passwords, they deserve to be hacked. The banning would not work, because there still would be plenty of really easy ones, and also, pop culture forms day by day... 4 years ago Justinbieber wouldn't have been a common password, but nowadays... People should be taught to choose passwords that are hard to guess for others, even if not for them, or at least write the password down if they can't remember.
