Passwords and Accounts

🔑 Passwords and Accounts

To use email, apps, and online services, you’ll often need an account. An account is like your personal key — it keeps your information safe and lets you access your services from any device.

🧭 What is an Account?

• An account is made up of your email address (username) and a password.

• It identifies you when you sign in to services like email, shopping, or banking.

• Accounts can be free (like Gmail or Outlook) or linked to services you pay for.

  
  

🔐 Password Basics

• A password is a secret code only you should know.

• It protects your account from others trying to get in.

• Strong passwords are harder to guess and keep you safer online.

  
  

✨ Tips for Strong Passwords

• Use at least 8 characters (longer is better).

• Mix letters, numbers, and symbols (like ! or @).

• Avoid using easy words like password or your name.

• Example: SunnyDay!2025 (easy to remember, hard to guess).

  
  

🖐️ Safe Habits

• Never share your password with anyone.

• Write it down in a safe place if you’re worried about forgetting.

• Change your password if you think someone else knows it.

• Use different passwords for important accounts (like email and banking).

💡 Remember: passwords are your digital keys. Keep them safe, and your accounts will stay secure.
