Simple Passwords That BlackBerry 10 Won't Allow

If you're the person who doesn't put a lot of stock in a password, you may want to rethink your password choices. I always laughed at the movie Spaceballs when King Roland is forced by Dark Helmet to reveal the password to unlock the shield that protects the planet Druidia's air. King Roland reveals in quite the dramatic fashion that the password is "1...2...3....4.......5!!"

For some, that's no laughing matter because that just very well may be their actual password for their phone (and luggage). If you do use the simplest of passwords for your current BlackBerry, you won't be able to get away with it much longer if you upgrade to BlackBerry 10.

Part of the BlackBerry 10 OS includes a list of weak and common passwords that you will not be allowed to use for your phone. The fact that BlackBerry is always about security first and this is just another reminder of how dedicated BlackBerry is to making BlackBerry 10 the most secure OS out there.

The disallowed password list includes:

1=123456

2=12345678
