There are 2 common hacking techniques used to hacking the passwords.

No.1 Phishing

Phishing is most common technique used to hack the username and password by making fake login page of website you use to login.

How the hacker do it:

In this technique the hacker make a login page of the website exactly same in look and feel and will mail, pm, or text you the link of that fake asking you to input your username and password to do something.
If you click on this link you will get a login page exactly same as you used to login in actual website. You will enter your username and password. That username and password will be mailed silently (at background) to the hacker. In this way you will lose your username and password without even knowing it.

How to avoid this:

1. Never click on any link from your mail or pm that ask for putting username and password for any reason.

2. Always see the URL address of the link very carefully whenever you click on any such link.

3. Always bookmark your favorite website (login page also) URL address and whenever you need to visit or access them, go either by clicking on it or type the URL yourself. Never trust any link sent in your mail box or private message box.

4. If you realize that you have been hacked, quickly change your password.

No. 2 Key logger

Key logger is malicious or malware program that silently installed on your system (computer, laptop, mobile tablet etc.), when you install any other software from untrusted websites.
