The big idea
AI agents can act on your accounts. Never give them your real passwords or your parent's credit card.
Some examples
- Use a parent or teacher account if money is involved.
- Use a fake test account for trying agents.
- Never paste 'real' passwords into a chat.
- If AI asks for a credit card, stop and tell an adult.
Try it!
If AI ever asks for a password, close the chat and tell a trusted adult. Real secrets stay private.
