This is great fun to play with.. Some of the most amazing stupid passwords you can imagine are in here. Including things like qazwsx or 1q2w3e4r etc. Lot's of "keyboard patterns" etc.

Maybe major sites should use these sorts of lists as black lists for passwords?

Of course the sad thing is then someone gets pissed while registering and will just click away because the first 20 passwords they thought up are already in there. :)

It's a fine balance and one that's not going to die anytime soon.

Has anyone thought of doing a keyboard heatmap for this list? It seems to me there are a lot of these "muscle memory" like passwords in here where people use the keyboard pattern as the password basically.
