Thursday: Passwords stay private

Rocket wants to open the game app.

"It wants a password! I will shout it."

Raven covers her ears. "What do you notice?"

Nova whispers. "Hint: secrets stay quiet."

What is a password?

A password is a secret word or code.

It unlocks a computer or an app.

It keeps your things safe from others.

Only you and your grown-up know it.

A grown-up keeps the password for you.

Keep it private

  • Do not say it out loud.
  • Do not tell friends.
  • Do not type it where others can see.
  • Never type it on a stranger screen or message.

Why keep it secret?

A password is like a house key.

If someone has your key, they can get in.

They could change your things.

They could pretend to be you.

So the key stays with you and your grown-up.
