Passwords are part of our everyday life. We use them when we bank or shop online, and to access other apps and websites. They help to protect us, our money and our data when we use our phones, laptops and other devices.
They're part of a safety feature called 'authentication'. Companies we deal with use this, to check it's really us. For instance, your bank might send you a text code before they put a payment through.
In this lesson, we'll show you how to get the most from these features. You'll find out how to set strong passwords that others can't easily guess. We'll explain how you can use things like your face or fingerprint to stay safe. You'll also see how using more than one type of authentication can add an extra layer of safety for you.
