![]() So a leak like RockYou will mean your simple password is leaked, and a service you use will probably be compromised. If your password is weak, it was used by lots of people too. It solves the two most prominent issues with passwords: weak passwords, and password reuse. That's why everyone needs a password manager. And that wordlist is used on lots of bruteforce tools, so it will be used on emails, routers, Active Directory accounts, and everything on the internet that uses a login and password for authentication. No matter if someone had a 64 byte password, with a mix of symbols, letters, numbers, capitals, and unicode chars, if he had an account at RockYou, the password leaked. That list was from a company (RockYou) that stored all passwords in clear. ![]() Stop right here, install a password manager, then come back. it only means nobody on that list have the same password as you.
