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.
