Password safety discussion:
Assignment: Write about password safety in your blog. Give four tips on creating strong passwords. Choose a historical person and create a bad and a good internet password for them and explain why.
Example: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Bad password: Wolfie It is bad because it uses his name, is too short and does not contain any numbers or special characters. Good password: @L1ttleN1ghtMus1c (A Little Night Music) This is better because it is longer and changes some of the letters to numbers and a special character, and uses capital and lower case letters.
Watch this rap on making secure passwords If you have time, watch more videos on NetSmartz Workshop.
