Hackers like abusers are always known to you personally or the family.
You want to use passwords like the names of your pets, birthdays etc
then someone who knows you don't have much trouble hacking all
your accounts!
Always use passwords with at least 8/10 characters comprising of a
mixture of letters in upper/lower case and numbers.
Also use something that no one else knows. Like for instance, on my
online bank account, I use my birthplace which now geographically no
longer exists which is only known to me and my bank now as all my
immediate family is now dead.
Using your mother's maiden name mixed in as well is a good one.
