Create or find a classroom resource that teaches students about creating strong passwords, passcodes, or passphrases.

Two classroom activities for teaching students about password security

Within this website, students are encouraged to consider what makes a strong password. In the activity, students imagine passwords that they think are considered ‘weak’ and compare them to passwords they believe are ‘strong’. Students also explore the components that make good passwords (combinations of capitals, numbers, and special characters) and can use the website to measure the competency of the password.
