Activity 1: Secure vs. Un-secure Account and Device Practices

Understanding the difference between secure and unsecure practices helps protect your accounts and devices from unauthorized access and cyberattacks.

Instructions:
Drag each phrase below into the correct category: Secure or Not Secure password practices.

Activity 2: Learning How To Use Password managers

Password managers securely store and generate strong, unique passwords for each account, reducing the risk of password reuse and helping protect against hacking or phishing attacks.

To strengthen your online security, watch the video on how to use a password manager to safely store and create strong, unique passwords for all your accounts.

Activity 3: Password Managers – True or False?

Instructions:
Read the statement below and select True or False. Then click Check to see if you’re correct.

Activity 4: HaveIBeenPwned

  • Go to haveibeenpwned.com
  • Enter your email address or phone number to see if it’s been exposed in a data breach

If you’ve been Pwned, this doesn’t mean someone is actively using your account, but your information has been leaked in a past breach. It’s a warning sign that your accounts may be at risk.

Change your password if you are still using those accounts and ensure that you use a different password for each account.

Activity 5: Recognizing the Importance of 2FA

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection by requiring something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a code or app) to access your account.

Flip through the dialog cards to see the features of each verification method.
