Wikipedia talk:10,000 most common passwords

"abc 123"

This password is listed as both numbers 13 and 14. Is one of them perhaps supposed to be "abc123" (sans space)? Joefromrandb (talk) 07:49, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Numbered list formatting

I have repaired the format of the list numbers 101 onwards. I was surprised to go back a few months in the page history and not see it fixed. The Wiki page for list formatting let me know the correct way to structure this change; I hope this is acceptable as a 'minor edit'.

Semi-frequent IP-based vandalism

I was wondering whether the spate of vandalism and reverts this page seems to see might be due to people thinking "Oh no, my password's on this list, better delete it [and while I'm here all of the rest of it]". Would it be worth sticking this on semi-protected?

Why not protect?

As for today, 47 consecutive edits were just vandalism, revert, vandalism, revert, vandalism, revert... The current revision Special:PermaLink/986593256 from 1 Nov, is the same as Special:PermaLink/969751380 from 27 Jul.

Why isn't it protected yet? Is it really so funny to have it restored every fifth day? --CiaPan (talk) 10:18, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Every few months I come back to this page to see if it's been protected yet. I'm guessing nobody but us is actively monitoring it any more. And even that is a loose definition of 'actively'. NinjaDuckie (talk) 21:48, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of edits and blatant vandalism today and yesterday. A. Rosenberg (talk) 14:14, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia article and Wikipedia: page

Are these two:

synchronized in any manner? The former lists passwords from four different sources, but only 20 or 25 from each. --CiaPan (talk) 08:11, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should they be linked somehow, e.g. in the 'See also' section? --CiaPan (talk)

#51

Can't edit but #51 is 'fuckme' not 'mycomeputer', check the source. Noticed it was strange that 'mycompeter' was higher than 'computer' with no 'mycomputer' anywhere to be found.

Good catch. Fixed. Alecnotalex (talk) 04:56, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are only 9936

Hi, the name of the entry is 10,000 passwords but the list ends with the number 9936... 192.117.165.7 (talk) 00:11, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't. It ends with #10,000, and the article has not been touched in almost two months. Meters (talk) 04:38, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

please I would have great gratitude if 773 password changed to "Evan" because I have some sources telling me that "Evan" is a more populaire password Rare doos spion (talk) 16:29, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. RudolfRed (talk) 16:57, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Viral Meme

Hi everyone, it has come to my attention that this article, specifically the 773rd most common password, has become a viral meme on Instagram and other social media platforms. Just thought that should be noted. Royz-vi Tsibele (talk) 16:50, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it not a big issue that these aren't sorted properly?

Just taking a quick scroll down the list you will quickly find that there are big "chunks" of passwords that appear to be sorted alphabetically (or words with the same starting letter squished together). Same deal with numbers. If this list is not actually the most common 10000 passwords (or if it's ordered incorrectly) then a review of the source should be made. 76.69.243.122 (talk) 04:17, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source of data is given in the About section of the page, you can see data got somehow clustered there. I have no way to determine whether the apparent effect results from any bias in the collecting method or a way of calculating their frequency. Possibly you might query that info directly at OWASP, but given the list remains almost unchanged since at least December 2018 (Diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:10,000_most_common_passwords&diff=cur&oldid=873275594) I doubt anyone would know the precise answer. --CiaPan (talk) 09:20, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
