tips from a review of this year's Worst Passwords List include:

- Don't use a favorite sport as your password – "baseball" and "football" are in top 10, and "hockey," "soccer" and "golfer" are in the top 100. Don't use a favorite team either, as "yankees," "eagles," "steelers," "rangers," and "lakers" are all in the top 100.

- Don't use your birthday or especially just your birth year -- 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992 are all in the top 100.
While baby name books are popular for naming children, don't use them as sources for picking passwords. Common names such as "michael," "jennifer," "thomas," "jordan," "hunter," "michelle," "charlie," "andrew," and "daniel" are all in the top 50.
