Password Security
📋 What it is
Strong, unique passwords — long, hard to guess, different for each account — keep your accounts safe.
🗣️ Coach says
A password is a key. A good one is long, hard to guess, and DIFFERENT for each account — so if one leaks, the others stay locked. A short, reused password is like using the same easy key for your house, bike and locker.
🧠 Memory hook
Long + unique + secret. One key per lock.
😂 Giggle
Two-factor authentication walks into a bar.
The bouncer says, "ID please." 2FA says, "Here's my ID AND a code from my phone." The bouncer is impressed.
😲 Whoa!
A long passphrase like four random words is both easier to remember AND harder to crack than a short password full of symbols.
✅ Quick check: Why is it risky to use the same password for many different accounts?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
If that one password leaks, someone can get into ALL your accounts at once — unique passwords keep a single leak contained.
Unique passwords are the single most important account-safety habit.
