We discussed how passwords protect our personal information and privacy from hackers and cybercriminals. We also learned some tips on how to create and remember strong passwords, such as using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoiding common words or phrases. We practised making our own strong passwords. We had fun and learned a lot about e-safety!
