Understand Password

Hint for students

A password is a secret set of letters, numbers, or symbols used to get into an account or device.

Common mix-up

Password is not the same as username. A username tells who the account belongs to; a password is the private code that protects it.

Try it in class or at home

Write one sentence that shows password without using the word password. Model sentence: Before opening the tablet, Nora typed the secret code only she knew. Clue words: typed, secret code, only she knew Now try your own sentence. Ask: Does my sentence show a private code used for access?

Teacher prompt

Ask students to explain this model sentence: "Do not share your password, because it unlocks your account." Why does password fit better than nickname?
