Your passwords were terrible in 2015, just like the year before.

Password-management company SplashData released its annual list of the worst passwords, based on millions of leaked passwords from the year.

Like past years, the expected "123456," "123456789" and, of course, "password" made the list.

But "Star Wars" themes also made a debut, which seems pretty predictable. (Video via Walt Disney Studios)

"Starwars" itself was at the bottom of the top 25 worst. Above that at No. 23 was "solo." And at 21: "princess." (Video via Walt Disney Studios)

But as password-management company TeamsID pointed out, the Force isn't obligated to protect your data, so choose a password wisely, you must.
