I like to type out a random set of numbers and letters and save them to a notepad. It's the best defense against brute force attacks. The bitcointalk hack that happened in 2015 wouldn't have been a problem for anyone if their passwords were good because all the passwords needed to be bruteforced.

Many people are afraid due to the spread of hacking into many accounts and some of them consider that the security of those accounts are very weak ( especially after their accounts are hacked) and  they bear all the burdens on the forum.

In my opinion, the problem is not the weakness of security, but in fact, it is your misbehaviors  that lead to your accounts ( users) being hacked.

When your account is well secured , the hacker cannot  get your password. So it's very essential to protect your account through two simple steps  :
1- Choosing a powerful password.
2- Secure your Email ( Strong password, Step verification ( by a  phone number) ,Encrypt it through a special key).


Regarding the strong password here are my suggestion:

1) Use combination of letters, numbers and special characters . There are hackers who brute force common passwords easily with the help of software like burp suite.

2) Keep changing the password at regular intervals.
