If you were Superman, what would be the worst password you could use?

If you ever go back and watch old movies as I sometimes do, you wonder how some things would be different if the movie came out today (other than the special effects, of course). For example, in Superman II, I think that you would need a password to get into the Fortress of Solitude instead of it being wide open for anyone to walk in. Even though it was located in the middle of nowhere, a layered approach to security (like the one we take at Mitto) would make sense.

If it did have a password, Hollywood being what it is, the password would probably be something insecure like Lois Lane, Kryptonite, or Kal-El (his Kryptonian name) in an attempt to be dramatic (read easy/cheesy).

As Mitto users, we know that using something easily guessed, like the person you like or your name, is a bad idea. If you were Superman and had to choose a password for your Fortress of Solitude, there are a number of bad choices that would make it easy for Lex Luthor to guess. Which do you think would be the worst? Let us know by commenting below.

Lex Luthor Sucks

"LoisLane", of course.

LoisLane is probably the worst. Some other funny ones ones might include:

FasterThanASpeeding Bullet
YouCan'tShootMe
I'llBurnYouWithMyEyes
M-A-R-S.ICanFlyThere

If we're talking straight up worst, I have to agree that Lois Lane (or some variation) is probably the worst. Some other other cheesy passwords for consideration:

FasterThanASpeedingBullet
ItsNotABirdOrAPlane
IHateGeneralZod
LookFantasticInTights
Krypton4ever
ShootMeIDareYou
