To know how to prevent password from easily cracked, we need to first learn the commen ways of hacking a password. 1. Through broswer cookies/datas, hackers commenly target those, dangerous if you click on 'remember me' or 'save password' on those browsers 2. If the hacker is a relative or very close to you, your password hint/recovery hint may give away the password to the hacker. 3. The hacker can use a dictionary-like app to detect words that is inside the english language. 4. The hacker can phish you and upload a hidden tool inside your computer that acts like a datalogger and logs every key you press, mouse click and send it to the hacker. With those being said, we should avoid 4 things - saving password/accounts on the site - Avoid using english words in your password - Avoid using your own personal info as the password/recovery password - Avoid suspicious websites in order to prevent getting phished And finally, we need to reinforce our password. Right now, we can use numbers and letters, but pro hackers can easily detect that. So how about using syntax like " √ £ © ¶ & ... " ? Hackers commenly have a hard time detecting those, if your password can hold foreign languages like japanese(はたらたや) that is even better. Now for the example, I want to make a password with the word 'obvious'. Its weak, lets improve it by first adding numbers, we could make it into ' 2obv1ous3 '. Now it makes it into a non-english word along with numbers in it. For syntax, we could replace the 'o' with ' () ' and 's' with '
#x27;. Which makes it into ' 2()bv1()ou$3'. And you can now say good luck to the hacker trying to hack your password. If you still feel insecure, just flip the password around! It will become '3$uo()1vb()2' .Its hard to remember the password so you can secretly write it down on a piece of paper. But you need to renember if you want a secure account, you will have to work hard for it
