Moms, Avoid These iPhone Passwords At All Costs
Most parents are lost without their phones, but a common password can leak your family information out to the world.
I have had at least three threads on my Facebook wall this week of mommy friends who say they love their iPhone. Up at school, it’s a sea of moms, dads, mini-vans, and iPhones while waiting for our kids to come outside. The iPhone has become the virtual assistant for many mothers, and many say they can’t they can’t go a day without using it.
I gotta admit I don’t understand the fascination because I still have my trusty Blackberry. But if I go over to the iPhone side (which I probably will at next upgrade!), there are 5 passwords I will never pick, and you shouldn’t either.
Industry experts released the most common passwords on the iPhone and if you are currently using one of them, you may be hacked. A new study says fifteen percent of all users pick one of these most common passwords, so avoid them at all costs.
Besides, there are over 10,000 password combination options, so lots of room for creativity.

Lucky commented on Jun 16 11 at 10:54 pmI really love all kinds of Babble’s lists… but I hate the slide show format. This is the third one I’ve seen today and I haven’t finished any of them because it takes too much time to load and there’s too much up and down scrolling on my netbook. I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but I’d love these lists a lot more if I could just scroll straight down.
Voice Of Reason commented on Jun 17 11 at 12:00 amYes! What Lucky said. It’s a real pain in the nect, and too time consuming for your target demographic.
LogicalMama commented on Jun 17 11 at 1:11 amAgree with Lucky and Voice of Reason!!! Sucky!
MamaSuperPow commented on Jun 17 11 at 9:38 pmThank you Lucky! I have the same problem with viewing their slides on my iPhone! It’s a huge pain in the butt, and I usually decide it’s not worth my effort and annoyance, which sucks because I really enjoy most other articles that Babble has to offer.
Liz commented on Jun 18 11 at 6:36 pmI’m fifthing this emotion. I get that you want 6 page views out of this post, but if the information is important enough for Danielle to write about it, it would be nice if you didn’t make your readers jump through hoops to read it. You guys know better than anyone–we moms are busy!
Sarah Moore commented on Jun 18 11 at 7:03 pmYup, Its a pain to have to scroll down every time. But back to the Iphone I LOVE it! Everything from my grocery list, to do list, price checker, gym routine, running log, Iphone, Kindle, It keeps my kids entertained and lessens my lode of tec stuff.
