I learned that passwords should not have anything personal about you. That gives hackers an easy job in hacking your information. I also learned that you should not use the same password for any other account. You should probably try and come up with different passwords for different accounts.
After watching the video I learned the importance of having a secure and safe password. Hackers usually check your password for personal information, so it is better to mix in symbols and numbers into a phrase or quote. Another helpful tip is to have different passwords for different accounts.
I learned that hackers are everywhere and have many programs that can get into your accounts. Hackers will listen to you talk about your personal life thats the reason why your passwords should have nothing to do with your personal life this will make it really easy for the hacker to get into one account and if you have the same password for all your accounts then the hacker will be able to get into them. Having a password with numbers and capital letters will be a stronger password and no hacker will be able to get into your accounts.
I learned that you should not use any personal information about yourself because that is the first thing a hacker is going to try. I also learned that adding numbers, symbols and upper case letters through out your password would make it harder to guess.
I learned that you should never use any personal information about yourself on any account. That is one of the many few things that can help hackers take their identity it can create many different accounts or even make purchases that'll leave you in debt probably. To prevent this you can add symbols or numbers and just make your password extraordinary so they won't guess it.
U.T
MPC- I learned that having simple passwords is easy but not a good idea because it's easier for hackers to get into your accounts. Also, your password should not include personal information.
I read that you should never use the same password for any website but, it would also make it hard to remember all the passwords to every site that you have -L.R.
JG - I learned that I should not put my personal information on the internet because you never know who can hack your account. Its worth having numbers, capital letters, and long passwords to protect your information and be safe.
N.T~ Some people are thieves; your password gives access to pretty much your whole life! You need to keep your password simple, but not too simple, an example of a bad password is, your birthday, your dog’s name, your house number, or your phone number. An example of a good password could possibly be a mixture of numbers and letters such as, five letters and three numbers. Make sure you don’t tell any one (you can tell your parents because they are your parents they might want it or need it to access any problems you are having). People you don’t want to tell is your friends who knows; maybe they aren’t such great friends and hack your account to do something bad. This doesn’t just contain to children it also contains to adults because they have their credit card information, credit scores, social security, etc.
S.A
I learned that you should always create a password that is hard to guess. Your password should not have any information that is about you. Your password should not be a word from the dictionary, this way hackers have a less chance on figuring out your password. Your password should include phrases, uppercase letters, numbers, or special characters.
SS- I learned that your password should not be anything that would be easy for someone else to think of. For example your dog’s name should not be used as your password. To make a secure password you should use a phrase, and abbreviate it, and then add some symbols or numbers where it’s necessary.
Two things I learned about from watching the video are never make a password that involves your personal life, and only you should know your password. W.F
After watching the video on passwords, I learned that you should make your password strong. You should make your password something that is not easily guessed, or someone could guess it and get to your private information. You should also make sure you log out of your email after using someone else’s computer, and make different passwords for different sites.
