Strong and secret
A strong password is long, hard to guess and not used anywhere else — three random words with numbers and symbols works well. It’s kept secret from friends, but a trusted grown-up at home can know it.
Messages saying “You’ve won a prize! Enter your password” are tricks. Don’t click — tell a grown-up.
