"Stallone Classic a Password Favorite"

Security researchers at Specops went through more than 800 million breached passwords to determine which big-screen hits were used the most in passwords. The selection was a subset of a list of 2 billion passwords that have appeared in breached lists. Topping the list was the sports drama Rocky.  Rocky, which was released in 1976, was used as a password nearly 96,000 times. Trailing close behind was the 1991 American fantasy swashbuckler adventure movie Hook, which showed up in over 75,000 breached password lists. Taking the number three spot with 50,000 uses was The Matrix. Superhero movies Batman, Superman, Spider-man, X-men, and Iron Man took the fourth, sixth, eleventh, thirteenth, and fourteenth spots, respectively, while Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 American psychological horror thriller Psycho came in at number five. Children's movies were also popular, with Frozen scooping the number 12 spot and Shrek taking the number 16 spot.
