Something looks wrong
You notice a door is open when it is usually closed.
Tell a trusted adult. Do not go looking around alone.
Junior Security Detective Academy
Password Challenge Mission
Learn why passwords are digital keys and practise building strong password habits.
A password is a digital key. Some keys are weak because many people can guess them. Strong passwords are longer, unique and private. Your mission is to protect accounts just like you would protect a front door key.
Your mission brief
- Choose the stronger password habit.
- Spot risky messages asking for codes.
- Write three password rules without writing a real password.
Safety rule: A junior detective notices and reports. A trusted adult decides what to do next.
Mission activity
Read each card. Choose the best action, then reveal the answer.
Technology asks for a code
An app asks for a password or verification code.
Ask an adult before entering or sharing any code.
Privacy question
A camera could see more than the entry it is meant to protect.
Adjust the angle or ask an adult to check privacy.
