Word scramble
Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1
NOTUCAC VAEKREOT
When someone else logs in to your account. They can read your private messages, post pretending to be you, or lock you out by changing your password.
2
BMOACINTNISO
The number of possible guesses for a secret. Each extra character multiplies them, so longer passwords take much longer to guess, even for fast computers.
3
DONRMA SWDOR
To build a passphrase, pick three or four ______ that do not belong together and join them. Adding a number or symbol between the words makes it even harder to guess.
4
UBGLSESEA SPSPRAEASH
A passphrase others can find out or guess, such as your name, birthday, pet, school, a song lyric, a saying or qwerty. Never use one for an account.
5
ILYSL RICUEPT
Picture your passphrase words together as one funny scene or story. The odd image helps you remember random words, and you can practise it a few times.
6
RSGHTENT KCEHECR
A tool or quiz that shows how strong a passphrase is. Only test a made-up example in it, never your real passphrase. Read the result, then make a weak example stronger.
7
EEKP TI ETRVAIP
Your passphrase is a secret. Do not tell friends, type it where others can watch, or put it in a message. Only share it with a parent or carer you trust.
8
NECRES CLOK
A lock that needs a passcode, passphrase or fingerprint to open your device, so other people cannot use it when you walk away from it.
9
SAK, HKECC, KNIHT
Before you act online: Ask a trusted adult, Check that the sender or site is real, and Think about what could happen if you click or share.
