My password was leaked and cracked. Not one I use anywhere else so not much chance of any damage being done elsewhere.

Mine shows as leaked and cracked. However, I imagine my password is one that would be chosen by lots of people, so whether it's been hacked in association with my login is not certain.Comment

Method used: sort SHA1.txt | uniq -d | wc -l although when that came up with zero, I confirmed by sorting into a new file (same length, obviously) then applying uniq to create another new file (same length, so no duplicates were removed) and then just for the hell of it applying uniq with the "only show duplicates" flag to produce yet another new file (zero length).Last edited by NickFitz; 7 June 2012, 06:28.Comment

Several years ago I worked on a project to improve a website's security.
At the time, the passwords were stored plain text in the database.
Out of curiosity, I ran a count on different passwords to see how common they were.
Top of the list - password.
About 5 of the top 20 were football teams
Names (mostly girls') were pretty common, as were various varieties of booze.
87 people had the same password as me.Comment
