Secrets that lock doors

A password is like a key to your online room. It proves you are allowed to enter your school account, a game, or a family tablet profile.

Good secrets stay with you and trusted adults. Passwords are that kind of secret. Jokes, surprises, and game codes for everyone are different kinds of secrets.

Watch the step-flow. See what happens when a password stays secret versus when it leaks to a friend.

Why friends still should not know

Best friends can fall out. A shared password lets someone post or spend as you, even by accident. Keeping passwords separate protects both of you.

On a shared school computer, log out when you finish. The next student should not land inside your account.

Make secrets stronger

Longer secrets are harder to guess. A silly sentence only you know beats your birthday written down.

Use different passwords for important places when a grown-up helps you set them up. If one leaks, the others still work.

Next you will see how posts and stickers can be copied, even when you think they disappeared.
