I've been seeing bad security practices from a user perspective since I graduated from college. Heck, my wife still wouldn't know a good password if it was stuck in her eye.

But the best worst password will still always be "password." That got a server I managed "hacked" with at least 5 PHP terminal scripts. I left a lovely message for when they tried to load the page after I cleared out the offending files.
