Think changing your password in not very important? A recent survey of 32 million exposed passwords revealed the top 10 most common passwords:

1. 123456
2. 12345
3. 123456789
4. password
5. iloveyou
6. princess
7. rockyou
8. 1234567
9. yankees2009
10. Abc123

Avoid using any of these passwords and make sure you have a different password for work, school and personal accounts. Experts say the best way to guess someone's password is to start with names of people close to the user (wife, son, pet). Other favorite passwords tend to relate to slang words or sports mascots.

JCSU recommends changing your password at least once per semester. Think your password may have been compromised? E-mail helpdesk@jcsu.edu immediately
