Do Not Tell AI Your Passwords

Never give AI your password — even if it asks. Real services that need your password do not ask through AI chats.

If something asks for your password during an AI conversation, it is almost always a scam.

Three reasons to keep passwords private

• AI saves what you type
• Other people might see your conversations
• Scammers can ask for things while pretending to be helpful AI

The big idea: Passwords go to the actual website, not to AI chats. Anyone asking for it through chat is suspicious.

Practice this safely

Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about password, not to let it make the decision for you.

1. 1Ask AI to explain password in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
2. 2Give it one detail from "Do Not Tell AI Your Passwords" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
3. 3Check PII against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
