This is one of the arguments that is very often implemented by the user; the password used is not strong enough. Like a lock and lock, the username and password are access to the main door. Anyone can enter the website when the username and password are known. Likewise with all hackers who can scan passwords or commonly called “brute-force passwords.” The hacker will work on scanning the password according to the existing word list. For that, make sure if no one easily predicts your password. Always use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. There are some ways you can do to increase the strength of your password. Please read the Tips and Tricks for Secure Passwords. Oh yes, besides that, don’t ever use the default username like “admin” or “admin123”.
