Hi, I've heard of this one name, or rather it's a name of language that they use on chatting or using password, that goes like changing a to @, o to (), s to $, etc etc. Anyone knows what is the name of that thing?

The term you are looking for is "leet speak" or "leet language." It is a form of internet slang that uses a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters to replace letters in words. It originated in online gaming communities and has since become popular in online messaging and social media platforms. It is often used as a way to show insider knowledge or to disguise words from being easily detected by spam filters.
