A different password per account
Use a different password or passphrase for each personal account and explain the risk of reusing passwords: if one account is breached, every account with the same password is exposed
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“A different password per account means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- A paper “account card” (username blank) and sticky notes
- Pencil
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Sharing a school photo location publicly is not safe — it shows where you are.
Optional challenge. For A different password per account, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples A different password per account, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Set up or use at least two different accounts (e.g. a school account and a learning app), each with its own password
- Explain what could happen if they used the same password for every account and one website was hacked
- Decide what to do after hearing that a website they use was hacked (e.g. change that password and any account that shared it, with a trusted adult's help)
“Does your child know why they shouldn't use the same password for their game, school and email accounts — and what to do if one site gets hacked?”
