Click "Siiryy taloon" -> Choose item 3 -> Choose 1 for PIN code and passwords Course with questions, Digitreenien peruskurssi: Salasanat ja tunnistautuminen (Yle Oppiminen) Tips for facilitating discussions 1. What do you need a password for Encourage participants to think about all the places they log in: email, social media, banking, online shopping, and work accounts. Highlight that passwords are like digital keys that protect their private spaces. 2. Why is it important to create a strong password Explain that weak passwords make it easy for hackers to guess or steal accounts. Compare it to using a fragile lock on your front door—anyone could break in. Strong passwords act like stronger locks. 3. What is a weak password Give examples like “123456,” “password,” or a birthdate. Point out that personal details (child’s name, phone number, etc.) are also weak because they’re easy to guess or find online. 4. What is a strong password like Describe strong passwords as long (12+ characters), unique, and a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Show how a phrase (“BlueDog!RunsFast22”) can be easier to remember and still strong. 5. Why is it not a good idea to use the same password for different online services Use the “one key for all doors” example —if someone steals that one key, they can open everything. Remind participants that if one service gets hacked, all their accounts are at risk Free tools to stay safe online Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) 🔎 Check if your email or password has been exposed in a data breach.
