A lot of incidences have been reported of hacked Email and Facebook accounts. Most of the cases are due to the fact that the password used was weak. Its always better to keep a strong password. So how to know if the password that you are using is strong or not. A general notion is that only long passwords are strong. This is not fully true. There is not doubt that long passwords are strong but even a 8 digit password can be very strong if the password contains proper mix of alphabets, numbers and symbols.
