My password isn't on that list, but it's on a different list. I found it by googling my email address. :/

Thanks for the heads up on this, I found mine as well. For reference, here's a much longer list of cracked passwords: https://www.nanaimogold.com/microlionsec.txt

I wonder how many people google their password to check if it's been cracked.

Yeah dude, mine was on the bigger list. It's a 10chr semi-random password (all lower case tho).

I pick passwords based on easy things to type and the memorize the pattern / commit it to muscle memory. I also try to use obscure but pronounceable patterns somewhere in the pass.
