                                                           THE SMART CHOICE

                      Read the following story and answer the questions that follow:

                      One day, Yuvraj was playing his                   Hi Yuvraj!
                      favourite online game. Suddenly,                I can give you
                      a  message  popped  up  on  the               500 bonus coins!
                                                                     Just tell me your
                      screen. It said,                                  password.

                                         Yuvraj got excited. He almost typed his                  Never share your
                                         password,  but  then  he remembered                       password with
                                         what he had learnt in class:                            anyone, not even if
                                                                                                 they promise gifts!

                        Yuvraj stopped and quickly called his father. His father
                      checked the message and said, “This is a fake message,

                      Yuvraj. Someone is trying to trick you.”

                        They reported the message and changed his password
                      to a stronger one: May#2026 Yuvraj smiled and said,

                      “Thanks, Dad! Now I know if something looks too good to
                      be true, it is a trick!”

                      Based on the above case answer the following questions:

                      1.   What mistake did Yuvraj almost make?

                      2.   Who helped him make the right choice?

                      3.  What would you do if you get a message asking for your password?

                                                                                      Strong Passwords and Secret Codes  41
