Why a strong password is needed?
Simple answer: to prevent being hack (easy password can be hack using bruteforce method). For example https://medium.com/@0fajarpurnama0/simple-password-bruteforce-demonstration-using-hydra-884dc8448686.
Elaborated answer: to prevent unintended access to your accounts because:
- The can lock you out from your own account.
- Impersonate you like in social media to destroy your reputation.
- Steal confidential information or at least your privacy.
- Steal your funds if you have some sort of electronic money.
- In summary, lose everything electronically and maybe even worse as time passes.
In my opinion a strong password:
- Contains small letters (a,b,c,d…).
- Contains capital letters (A,B,C,D…).
- Contains numbers (1,2,3,4…).
- Contains symbol ($,<,>,?,+,+…).
