Keeping Passwords Safe

It is important to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly.

Here is a simple set of rules to help you to set up a safe password:

• include numbers, letters and symbols;

• use at least one capital letter;

• make it something you will remember but others won’t think of; 

• make sure it has eight characters or more;

• never use obvious names or dates;

• never write down or share your password. 

If I had my password stolen, I would feel like I have no privacy. Cyber security experts say that we won’t be using passwords in the near future; it will be all about biometric authentication, such as face recognition and fingerprint recognition.
