According to a study by SplashData, “Mustang” ranks as the 16th most common password on the Internet in 2014.

Interestingly, Ford Mustang is the only car to crack the top 25 most common Internet passwords — but does that really surprise you? Chalk this up as another win for America’s most iconic pony car.
“We’re flattered people want to use ‘mustang’ as their password, but alone, it just isn’t strong enough to be secure,” said Keith Moss, Ford Director of Cyber Security. “We encourage people to use ‘mustang,’ but we recommend they strengthen their password by mixing upper and lower case letters, numbers, acronyms and symbols to make it unique.”
Adding letters, numbers, acronyms and symbols to your favorite pony car-inspired code for sign-in will help strengthen your password. Making Mustang one of The Most Popular Passwords, More Than Superman, Batman, is a major credit to Ford Motor Company, and the Mustang as an honest staple of pop culture. Enthusiasts speak of the Mustang as so much more than just a car. Mustang brings people together, but the growth will continue as the Mustang goes global this year.
According to Ford, here are a few suggestions for strengthening your “mustang” password: Add numbers to make it your own secret code (this may be your favorite Mustang model year, year you bought your Mustang, or year you sold the car). Incorporate Mustang option codes, paint codes, engine codes, or digits from your VIN. Create acronyms for modifications made to your Mustang (BBKStang, JMStang, EcoStang, etc.). Or you could include your favorite driving road, or race track.
Of course, using the same password on all websites is never a good idea. Ford recommends using a password manager to help keep your Mustang-related passwords organized and easy-to-access. This allows you to keep things “Mustang-themed” but secure at the same time.
