How to protect your social network page or email account from hacking?
Many users create very simple passwords, such as 1, 123, qwerty, qwe, qwerty12345, 123456789, thinking who needs my account, and then experience unpleasant emotions when their account is hacked. What can I say if the smartest programmer in the world, the owner facebook.com Mark Zuckerberg had the password “dadada" for his Twitter and Pinterest accounts until it was made public by a group of hackers.
All these passwords are easy to pick up in 5-10 minutes with the help of a simple program that uses a dictionary matching method. And then you have to spend a lot of time to restore your account, but, unfortunately, sometimes it is not possible to restore it. Unpleasant, isn't it? But it's very easy to avoid these problems, it's enough to spend a few extra minutes and create a burglar-proof password. Read about it in the article“ "How to create a password that is difficult to crack? How to store passwords securely?”
Interestingly, the English newspaper The Telegraph published a rating of the 25 most popular passwords:

The most popular password on the English–speaking Internet is 123456. I personally know people in Russia who use passwords 123456, 1234567890, qwerty, qwertyuiop, 1q2w3e, and frankly, I used similar passwords myself once. And now I live in Thailand, and many Thais set such a password to log into a Wi-Fi network: 123456789, or the password matches the name of the network. As you can see, users all over the world set the same passwords, and to hack someone's account, you don't need to be a hacker, you can just manually sort through the 25 most popular passwords, if you know the login, of course
