In order to gain insight on whether or not people were using known bad passwords as a part of a larger password or passphrase, I created a list based on the Gawker top 50 passwords, as well as LinkedIn-related words, ie. "career", "link", etc. From my quick analysis it is clear that people are using known bad passwords as a part of a larger password/ passphrase. Now is the time to apply lessons learned instead of moving forward making the same mistakes.
