We have noticed that a relatively large number of our users are using the same few extremely common passwords.
Using an extremely common password puts your account at significant risk, as it makes it extremely easy for someone else to guess it. In particular certain dictionary words and names are extremely common choices.

To help keep our users safe we have therefore today disallowed the use of the 500 most common passwords that people choose. You will no longer be able to use these very common passwords. If you already have one of these weak passwords, then you will be forced to change your password when you next try to login to the game.

For help on how to change your password: click here.

For guidelines on how to choose a good password: click here.

We recommend you use a combination of letters and numbers, and then write the password down and store it in a very safe place so you don’t forget it. Andrew.


I wonder if they disallowed things such "boobies" that children might find to be a good password XD

Good job Jagex :)

+9999999999999

Tbh if you have a password that's so easy to guess then you knd of deserve to get hacked, i'm not saying you should or anything. Just that when people mke passwords so obvious and complain to jagex that they were hacked it's their own fault. I used to flick through a dictinary and find a word i never heard of then change some of the letters to numbers and add things to the beginning and end of my password :) Never been hacked :D Although i'm too lazy to do that now so just make words up :D Good luck guessing that ^_^
