370 passwords that you can't use on Twitter

Twitter passwords are no longer easy to guess. As you may know, Twitter prevents people from doing just that by indicating that certain passwords such as ‘password’ and ‘123456′ are too obvious to be picked. It just so happens that Twitter has hard-coded all banned passwords on the sign-up page. All you need to do is to take a look at the source code of that page to get the list of banned passwords. Do a simple search for ‘twttr.BANNED_PASSWORDS’ and you are done.


This isnt a security issue ,in fact it’s helpful to distribute the list so you can check if your favorite password that you use for other services might not be as fail-proof as you’d like to think. Here are a couple of them.

- password
- testing
- naked
- stupid
- twitter
- 123456
- secret
- please
- beavis
- butthead
- internet
- hooters
