The big idea
Your password is the key to your accounts. Once it gets out, anyone could get in. AI does not need your password — and you should never type it into AI.
Some examples
- Bad: 'AI, can you remember my password is HotDog123?'
- Bad: 'AI, what should I name my new password? My current one is Spaghetti7.'
- Bad: typing your password into ANY chatbot, even to test something.
- Good: keep passwords in a safe place (like a password manager your family uses), only typed into the actual login screen.
Try it!
Talk to your family about where you keep your passwords. Make sure you know who to ask if you need to log into something. (Hint: a grown-up.)
