According to the research done by iOS developer Daniel Amitay, the top 10 most common iPhone passcodes used by iPhone users were:
1) 1234
2) 0000
3) 2580
4) 1111
5) 5555
6) 5683
7) 0852
8) 2222
9) 1212
10) 1998
It was an interesting research where the developer added a feature into his iPhone application – Big Brother Camera Security to trace anonymously 4 digit passcodes to unlock the app. Since the iPhone passcode requires 4 digits as well, he assumed that above passcodes were the most common passcodes for iPhone users. Whether the statistic truth or not, iPhone users should avoid to use all these common passcodes to protect personal information and privacy.
Now let’s talk about the most common used internet passwords by internet users. In January 2011, Imperva had released a report to identify the most commonly used passwords. The most popular used internet password was 123456 which also identical with the top most common used iPhone passcode – 1234.

Anyway, I hope you will take serious about the common passwords you are using right now and change them to strong passwords.
