Following this, we discussed how having a secure password helps you protect your personal information.
Albie stated that: “Passwords should be something personal to you and easy to remember, but difficult for someone else to figure out.”
“It could be a special word or phrase, name of your favorite character, movie, food or song,” added Hifza.
The class thought about tips for creating safe passwords.
“Have a mixture of symbols, numbers, lowercase and uppercase letters,” recommended Daisy.
