Just give up: 123456 is still the world's most popular password

Not a terribly useful list

Without any sight of the raw data, you can't tell if there is any real improvement.

123456 might still be the most popular, but how many people actually use it. On the whole, only obvious and/or finger friendly passwords will be used by many people. Hell, you would get the same "winner" if 123456 were used by 20 people and all the other passwords were unique.
