Protect your electronic accounts and personal information.

Do you have too many passwords to remember? Do you forget these passwords? Are you worried about being hacked? Hackers’ victims are people who never change their passwords or use simple passwords because they are easy to remember. This happens because in general, secure passwords are difficult to remember and simple passwords are easy to hack.

The first line of defense in protecting your accounts is to have strong passwords that are easy to remember. In this class, you will learn just that, how to protect your digital accounts by generating passwords that are difficult to hack, and easy to remember. We will also go over when it is appropriate and necessary to change these passwords. We will also look at what habits we need to develop in order to maintain the integrity of our accounts. This includes knowing when to use public or private connections. And finally, since not all accounts have the same level of importance or the same level of impact if hacked, we will look into how we can develop a system in which we organize our digital accounts in terms of potential impact if hacked.
