Be Secure
Keeping yourself safe online is just as important as staying safe in real life. It helps protect your things, like your computer or tablet, and stops people from saying or doing mean things to you.
Being safe isn’t just about using a strong password. It means thinking about how to stay safe when you use technology, stopping hackers from getting into your stuff, and knowing what to do if something goes wrong.
I use strong passwords for my online accounts and protect my devices with a passcode. I only share these with my parents or a trusted adult.
I make sure my devices stay safe by keeping them updated with the latest software. I also check my accounts now and then to see if anyone else has logged in.
I know how to check if a website is safe. If I use free wifi, I’m careful not to send private information.
Before I join a new website or download an app, I look at reviews and think about whether it could cause any problems.
If something goes wrong, I know how to tell a trusted adult and ask for help.
PASSWORD SECURITY
Why should I change my password?
If your password is too simple (see below) or if yoiu think someone else might know your password, it is a good idea to change your password and keep it private.
What does 'Simple password' mean?
Simple passwords only have lower case letters and numbers. They are easier to remember but might also be easier for someone else to guess.
What does 'Strong password' mean?
Strong passwords have mixed upper and lower case letters, a special character (like @, $, ! and so on) plus some numbers. Make sure your password is something you can remember.
