Not only that, using a single password across different accounts also gives an easy way for the hackers to get hold of your personal details.
It’s still not too late, change your passwords now if you feel yours is not strong enough at the moment. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Here’s a few tips for you to create a strong password (hopefully unhackable)
Do NOT use common information like your birth dates, names and contact details.
Use a mix of uppercase, lowercase and symbols
Jumble the numbers up and try not to use them in order (eg: 123456)
Oh, and last but not least, make sure you remember your own password!
