Welcome to Logging In & Passwords! In this strand, you will master securely accessing school accounts, managing personal login credentials, creating strong passwords, and protecting your digital identity across all devices.
Logins & Badges
Basic account access and username/password recognition.
Let's Go!
Routine: See, Think, Wonder
Look at this login screen with a username and password box. What do you see?
Why do computers ask who you are?
Teacher note: Facilitate the See, Think, Wonder routine for 2–3 minutes. Encourage students to connect the prompt to Function (Digital identity helps us access tools and connect safely.).
Learn
Your school login is like your digital locker key. Your username tells the computer who you are, and your secret password makes sure only YOU can see your work! In computing, digital identity helps us access tools and connect safely. As you explore the interactive Login Screen Simulator below, focus on how to type your secret password or use a QR badge to log in.

Look closely at these dots on the screen (••••••). Why does the computer hide the letters when you type a password?
Teacher note: Facilitate the Zoom In routine for 2–3 minutes. Encourage students to connect the prompt to Form (Keeping secrets safe protects our work and personal space.).
Learn
When you type your password, the screen shows black dots or stars so no one looking over your shoulder can see it! Never write your password on a sticky note attached to your screen. In computing, keeping secrets safe protects our work and personal space.

Passphrases
Building memorable, strong passphrases with random words.
Learning objective
Learning About: Password Strength. Learning To: Build passphrases. Learning To Be: Thinker.
Let's Go!
Routine: Think, Puzzle, Explore
Which is stronger: 'cat123' or 'BlueRiverJumping7!'?
What makes one much harder for a computer to guess?
Teacher note: Facilitate the Think, Puzzle, Explore routine for 2–3 minutes. Encourage students to connect the prompt to Connection (Combining simple elements creates strong defensive tools.).
Learn
Short passwords like '123456' can be guessed by computers in less than 1 second! Passphrases made of 3 or 4 random words (like 'BluePencilFalcon9!') are super long, easy for you to remember, and almost impossible to hack. In computing, combining simple elements creates strong defensive tools. As you explore the interactive Login Screen Simulator below, focus on how to add numbers and special characters (!, #, $) to strengthen a passphrase.

Learn
Single Sign-On (SSO) lets you use your school account to log into many apps safely without creating 10 different passwords. But remember: if you don't log out when using a shared computer, someone else can access ALL your apps! In computing, connected systems simplify access while requiring individual responsibility. As you explore the interactive SSO Simulator below, focus on how to consistently log out of school accounts on shared hardware.

Teacher note: Facilitate the I used to think... routine for 2–3 minutes. Encourage students to connect the prompt to Perspective (Multi-layered security prevents unauthorised access to personal data.).
Learn
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second lock to your door. Even if a hacker guesses your password (something you know), they still can't log in without your phone or security code (something you have)! In computing, multi-layered security prevents unauthorised access to personal data. As you explore the interactive MFA Simulator below, focus on how to explain how a Password Manager or Digital Vault securely stores complex passwords.

Let's Go!
Routine: Step Inside
Imagine a website you use suffers a data breach and hackers get your password. What happens if you used that EXACT same password for your email and school account?
Teacher note: Facilitate the Step Inside routine for 2–3 minutes. Encourage students to connect the prompt to Reflection (Maintaining digital identity integrity requires vigilance and ethical practices.).
Learn
Hackers use automated programs for 'credential stuffing' — testing stolen passwords on hundreds of popular websites. If you re-use passwords, one breach compromises everything! Using unique passphrases for every site isolates and protects your identity. In computing, maintaining digital identity integrity requires vigilance and ethical practices. As you explore the interactive Security Audit Simulator below, focus on how to conduct a security audit of online accounts to check for breached passwords.
