Hello everyone today we are going to talk about passwords.

You are requested to put a password everywhere to secure your devices, wallets, trading platform etc, it is very important to choose a password wisely.

There are 3 ways to break a password: using a dictionary containing thousands of passwords, bruteforce trying to find the right combination or a hybrid combination. Remember everywhere you are logging to have your email address and have your password. I wrote some tools below to help you with this issue.

To solve this issue change your passwords asap and avoid:

  1. To put the same password on every account you have
  2. Stop using simple password as your birth date or phone number
  3. Stop creating a password where the first letter is a capital one, and the last one is numbers followed by specials character (i.e Password123!)
  4. You can use this website to help you create one [here](https://passwordsgenerator.net/). 
  5. Remember to change it each several months
  6. You can use this website to check if your account was compromised [here](http://haveibeenpwned.com
  7. If the website works with hashes you can create your own password and hash it then log with it [here](sha1-online.com). 
  8. don't forget this way is not against malware installed on your pc stealing your passwords, but it can't definitely prevent or delay the attack. making a strong password will make your account longer to hack.
