An effective and less prone to a hacker password is a combination of charaters, letters and special symbols like $, &, 0, @, etc. This tightens the probability of hackers to encrypt your password. For example, if your chosen password would be “shortcake”, you can modify it into “$h0rtc@k3”. Get what I mean? So you might want to change your password now?
