Step-by-step explanation:

A brute attack is a method of cracking someone's password/credentials using a predefined set or list of commonly used passwords or from a database leak.

We can prevent our passwords from being brute forced by using a combination of password with no dictionary words and using many symbols and numbers with both upper and lower case characters.
