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

“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?
