You can't list every single type of a weak password, instead you should tell people what's a strong password, and there's actually only one answer - the one that was generated based on a strong RNG and has sufficient entropy.

1. Make sure your password is long. Combine small/big letters A-Z and numbers. If it's allowed to put a punctuation marks, then go.

Example. Whatchadoing173.



Your example is pretty bad, because it's just a word and some numbers at the end - it's easy to write a program optimized for cracking passwords like that by using a dictionary.


2. Try to change your password once a week or a month.

Changing passwords so often is not feasible if you're storing them in own memory, and unnecessary if they were generated and stored via a password manager.
