For example, change the S's in "Password" to $'s, making it "Pa$$word". This is the password I use for all of my data and none of my nude selfies have leaked yet, so it must be good.
Well I hate to burst your bubble but password is now in the number 2 spot not number 1. ;-)

Compiled by SplashData, the list pulls from the millions of stolen passwords made public throughout the year—a large chunk of which was made possible thanks to the Adobe hackers and their 38 million victims. That explains why this year's list includes newcomers "adobe123" and "photoshop." It also gives us the opportunity to remind you that basing your password on whatever program you're logging into is always a terrible, terrible idea.
