In this delightfully “bad” foray into password cracking, we tally two‑ and three‑character combos from millions of leaked passwords and compare them to a subtitle‑derived English word list. Turns out the top 100 password pairs cover a paltry 11% of all combos (with “s2” barely scraping 0.15%), while the same slice of English captures a whopping 60%. Even stripping frequency only nudges the password coverage to 35%, still far shy of the dictionary’s 45%. The takeaway? Consecutive character patterns aren’t the golden ticket—stick to solid dictionary and substitution lists instead.

summary: |
|
||||
In this delightfully “bad” dive into password hygiene, we scrape millions of leaked passwords for the first dictionary word they contain. The top ten words (love, baby, password…) barely scratch 5% of the total, and a whopping 21k words appear only once. We also compare happy vs. angry vocab. Turns out love trumps f**k by a healthy margin. The takeaway? Stick to random passphrases; dictionary words are a playground for attackers and a source of endless amusement for analysts.
