Did anyone look at the linked site http://xato.net/passwords/more-top-worst-passwords? I pulled his top 10k list, but it doesn't add up with his analysis. I get that the top 100 passwords only cover 14% of the accounts, not 40%. And the top 1000 passwords only cover 44%, not 91%. These numbers don't change his argument all that much, but I'm curious what I'm missing about the way he calculated his.
