[seqfan] Bad sequences for passwords

I vaguely remember in the *Da Vinci Code* that the character played by Tom
Hanks guessed a password that was based on the Fibonacci numbers (11235813,
if I recall correctly).

In real life, the Mac OS X Password Assistant recommends against passwords
like 123456789 or 321654987 ("This is too simplistic or systematic") but
has no objection to 2357111317192329 or 024681012141618.

What would be some other bad sequences to use for passwords?
