Twitter's Banned List of 369 Passwords You Should Never Use

Do you fear that your Twitter password can be easily guessed by a hacker or someone who wants to break into your account to post vulgar and fictitious information about you? Maybe your password is as easy as "1, 2, 3".

Twitter has banned 369 passwords (not 370, as heard in the last few days, because "password" is repeated twice in the list) to prevent lazy users from using common passwords and, in part, force them to elevate their level of password security.

The "banned password" list can be found on the HTML source of Twitter's sign up page. Simply, go to Twitter's sign up page, right-click on the browser, select "view source" (or "view page source" for Firefox), and search for "twttr.BANNED_PASSWORDS".

It's apparent that Twitter is trying to create a "cork on the fork" safety measure but Twitter users are still expected to know how to make strong passwords. There are tools available to check your password, like Microsoft's Password Checker, to determine if a passord is strong enough. Weak and common passwords like "123456", "111111", "welcome", "monkey" or anything remotely similar are totally unacceptable.

As more Twitter security woes and meltdowns continue to loom ahead, Twitter users should take initiative and use a strong password as the first step to protect their Twitter account. It is essential that Twitter users do their part to help prevent hackers from compromising accounts that can lead to the spread of malware. Using an acceptable, strong password is one of our easy tips mentioned on top 6 tips to avoid malware via Twitter that every user is advised to follow.

Do you use an acceptable password on Twitter? Is your password found in the list of 370 banned Twitter passwords?
