Yr 4 students
Use a mnemonic with 5-6 characters
They are to use some uppercase & lowercase and some numerals
They may use some punctuation
e.g., I love eating chocolate ice-cream at home = iLec1c
Students must write their new password clearly on a neat piece of paper- this reinforces the password in their head.
Students then place a neat folded copy of their password into their class folder with their name written clearly on the outside so they can easily recognise their own if needed. They place a paper clip to keep the password secure. No one else is allowed to see your password. Obne set stay her and the other set goes back to their class teacher.
This will help until students are confident that hey can remember their new password.
We can disguise our password by using mnemonics including numerals, upper and lower case letters in our passwords.
Passwords need to be kept secure and be personal so they are easy to remember.

Consider using password managers
Instead of writing your passwords on paper where someone might find them, you can use a password manager to store them securely online.
Password managers can remember and enter your password on different websites, which means you won't have to remember longer passwords.
Examples of password managers include LastPass, 1Password, and Google Chrome's password manager.
