Purpose:
This activity helps you understand what makes a password strong and why it’s important to protect your accounts with secure login details.
What to Do:
You’ll be given a set of example passwords. For each one, ask yourself:
- Is it long enough (ideally 12 characters or more)?
- Does it include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters?
- Does it use numbers and special characters (like #, ?, !)?
Think about the passwords you use (or would use). Are they easy to guess, like a pet’s name or your date of birth? Could someone figure it out just by knowing a few facts about you?
Reflect:
You don’t need to write down your real passwords. Just think about how they measure up to the strong password checklist and how you might improve them if needed.
