                                               STRONG VS WEAK PASSWORDS                          Century   #Critical Thinking
                                                                                                  Skills

                      A young detective needs to protect a secret online treasure chest. Strong passwords are required to keep
                      the treasure safe from hackers, while weak passwords make it easy for anyone to access the chest.
                      During the Cyber Safety Awareness Program, the class is given a set of sample passwords. Some are
                      strong and can protect the treasure, while others are weak and need improvement. The task is to identify
                      which passwords are safe and improve the weak ones by making them stronger.

                      The password are as follows:
                          12345

                      Now, rewrite weak passwords to make them strong and hacker-proof.

                             Use strong, unique passwords with a mix               Don’t share personal details (like address,
