I’m Either Famous, or Dumb…

Posted by nicole on January 21st, 2010

According to recent reports, nicole is the 11th most likely password in a survey of one million (hacked) user accounts.

This leads me to the following conclusions:

  1. My impact on the access management world is so significant, I have become a standard password….OR
  2. People called Nicole are generally so dumb they are the most likely to use their own name as their password.

I’ll leave it to you to decide ;-)
