The Worst Passwords in the World
Today, everything from email to your life's savings is likely sitting behind a digital password. But in spite of the gravity of unauthorized access, people persist in choosing terrible passwords. Every year, a list is made of the worst, most obvious passwords used throughout the year. The standard winners? "123456," and the always original, "password." Why the weak passwords? Undoubtedly, it's laziness for some, or the fear that a complex code won't be remembered.
Possible Preaching Angle:
But the security that we give something should be in keeping with its value, should it not? If our passwords matter, then how much more so our hearts? Let's guard our hearts, the source of our loves and desires. Because in the end, a hacked bank account can be replaced. A hacked heart? Well, that's not as easy to fix.
