It definitely shows how terrible people are at password generation and reuse but even more so how little it matters on individual sites if those folks have no understanding or don't care about protecting passwords. Yet people keep using 123456 as a password.

Lots of bots and throwaway on AdultFriendFinder. It's normal to have many users using "123456" and the likes, they are not real users.

I use silly passwords at sites where I don't care about security and don't want to be correlated with my other accounts elsewhere. Does this mean I'm bad at password generation and reuse? ;)
