The easiest way to protect your account is by choosing a strong password. Here are a few recommendations:

Make it long. Using long passwords is critical to password strength. An 8-character password will take anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks to crack while a 16-character password will take a minimum of 34.000 years to crack.
Use lower and upper case letters, numbers, and special characters. The password 'howstrong' would take 2 minutes to crack while it would take 3 weeks for attackers to crack the password 'H0wStr0!g'.
Do not reuse passwords. Reusing the same password for multiple accounts is dangerous as it makes you vulnerable to credential stuffing attacks, which take leaked credentials from one site/service and use them on other sites/services. It's as if you had multiple houses and used the same lock and key for all of them.
Make your passwords random. Do not include words related to your personal information in your passwords as it would give an advantage to attackers.
Use a password manager. A password manager is an application that helps you create, store, and manage unique passwords. It is the easiest and most secure way to accomplish this.
