Digital Safety & Citizenship I

Passwords other people could guess

A tablet's password is the owner's dog's name. Who could guess it?

Two kinds of passwords.
Step 1 of 4
  1. Two kinds of passwords.
  2. "kabir2015" has the owner's own name in it.
  3. "mango17kite" has nothing about the owner.
  4. One is easy to guess. The other is not.

Anyone who knows the owner could.

A password built from you is easy to guess.

Names, birthdays and pet names are easy to guess. So are "1234" and "0000". A strong password mixes capital letters, small letters and numbers. It also has signs, like ! or #. Share a password only with a parent.

Pick the password that is hardest to guess.
