Editor's Notes
- #2 Our key Cyber Resilience and Internet Safety (CRIS) message – this is like our online Green Cross Code – use this to reinforce all CRIS learning Which aspects of this message will they cover today?
- #3 Be clear that passwords are NOT SECURE. THey can BE STRONGER to KEEP YOU MORE SAFE. But secure implies they are foolproof and cannot be breached – this isn't the case. KEY POINTS: passwords aren't normally guessed by a person – they are CRACKED using computer software (ie. John the Ripper, which works through a list of COMMON PASSWORDS) When passwords are 'guessed by a person' they are done through SOCIAL ENGINEERING – finding out as much info about someone as possible and using this to work out their password or security questions, ie. Social media memes that ask you to post your dog's name and favourite holiday place!

- #6 this slide will start with just the 'missing letters' M_ _ _ I. You could make links to maths and working out missing digits – how can they solve this problem. Encourage learners to note their answer on boards or share with partners, as someone will spot the pattern and shout the answer out. As you click on the slides to progress it will give the text clue, then the picture clue. ANSWER: M E S S I KEY DISCUSSION: who guessed it first time? Did the clues help? MOST PASSWORDS ARE GUESSED WHEN WE KNOW INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERSON
- #7 this slide will start with just the 'missing letters' M_ _ _ I. You could make links to maths and working out missing digits – how can they solve this problem. Encourage learners to note their answer on boards or share with partners, as someone will spot the pattern and shout the answer out. As you click on the slides to progress it will give the text clue, then the picture clue. ANSWER: M I C K E Y 1 0 KEY DISCUSSION: What made this one trickier? Learners should suggest that numbers make a password more secure. How did they guess the correct numbers at the end of the word? MOST PASSWORDS ARE GUESSED WHEN WE KNOW INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERSON
- #8 this slide will start with just the 'missing letters' M_ _ _ I. You could make links to maths and working out missing digits – how can they solve this problem. Encourage learners to note their answer on boards or share with partners, as someone will spot the pattern and shout the answer out. As you click on the slides to progress it will give the text clue, then the picture clue. ANSWER: C H A N D L E R 9 9 KEY DISCUSSION: What made this one trickier? The two digits at the end could have been 21 or 99 – how would they guess the correct numbers at the end of the word? Perseverance – the same way a hacker would! MOST PASSWORDS ARE GUESSED WHEN WE KNOW INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERSON
- #9 Organise learners into groups for discussion and provide these prompts (the slide will show a new question each time you click to progress) Passwords protect our accounts and make it harder for other people to access them BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE Learners may have lots of accounts, devices and passwords. If not, can they relate to family members who do? What examples do they have? Most people think they have secure passwords but the starter examples may have raised questions about their strategies – we will explore new,more secure strategies next. Families may well share a device, such as a laptop, and these will have shared access and passwords – is this safe? It depends on who uses it and what they share on the device, i.e. photos or games – "do you want your brother to access and play your Fortnite or Roblox account?" SHARED DEVICES, SUCH AS IN SCHOOL OR LIBRARIES, MAY HAVE SHARED PASSWORDS BUT LEARNERS SHOULD USE GLOW TO SAVE THEIR LEARNING (BUT NOT SAVE THEIR GLOW PASSWORD ON A SHARED DEVICE!)
- #10 The blank slide will give you an opportunity to ask learners how they would improve the previous passwords in the starter activity. CLICK TO ADVANCE TO ANSWER ABOUT THREE RANDOM WORDS 1. How could we make these passwords more secure? If we want longer passwords, how many characters? How could we make passwords with more than 10, 15, or 20 letters? How would you remember these? 2. Are there things you shouldn't use for a password? If we want to avoid 'things we like', what could we use instead of things we like? Something random, not linked to you? The National Cyber Security Centre's latest advice is that passwords should contain THREE RANDOM WORDS. Glow Connect's guidance for passwords also recommends THREE RANDOM WORDS but also suggest other strategies, such as special characters, numbers and spaces.
- #11 Challenge learners to create their own stronger passwords. You could use the random word generator link provided – set it to three words, and nouns can be easier words to remember. Learners could press it a few times until they get words they are confident with. Or you could try the 'diceware' activity in the video Next, get learners to test their new passwords at https://howsecureismypassword.net/ - the site will score their password in terms of how long it will take a computer to guess their password. It also offers strategies, such as special characters, to make passwords stronger. Who can come up with the hardest to guess, and strongest, password? IT MUST STILL BE MEMORABLE ENOUGH TO USE
- #12 If pupile need to write down passwords to remember them – these should be kept in a safe place that others don't have access to... such as their tray or class jotter BUT NOT jotters that go home, or school bags, as someone at home could access these
