    It’s pretty far down but 4815162342 (410 btw) is seemingly the first random one that I haven’t been able to make sense of I’ve tried it as the alphabet, I’ve tried it on the number pad, can someone explain what this is, or is it just a really unfortunately common number? I would’ve thought this was a decent password…

          Oddly enough I did watch the show, but my first thought on seeing them in your comment was that it might be a US phone number, 481 516 2342.

      When I was a kid, almost everything was my older brother’s birthday. Born in the 80s. My brother finally convinced the family that wasn’t a good idea, and we changed everything. Lol.

      The data typically comes from leaked password lists from data breaches.
