How to Create Strong Passwords 

  • Length – the longer the passwords the harder it is for a hacker to break
  • Random words – safest password is 3 unrelated words eg fizzygreenunicorn
  • Characters – @ ! ” £ $ % ^ & * ( ) ; : ? # ~ the space bar also counts as a character
  • Use a password manager
  • Have different passwords for different accounts, especially online banking
  • Don’t use pet names, football teams, mother’s maiden name, street names, favourite food, film etc
  • Don’t share your password with anyone
  • If passwords are saved onto your phone, tablet or computer make sure you have some sort of screen lock eg 4 digit number
  • Not just adding a number 1 to the end of a password when it needs reset

 

The most common passwords in Glasgow are rangers and rangers123

Hi Paul, I have added two parts here: Internet safety and the Eatwell Guide.  Can you please seperate them for me.  Thanks 

The internet

The internet can be a great resource for information, advice and support on mental health. It can also be a dangerous place if we are not careful.  

Below is a quiz which helps identify and learn more about phishing:

Online Safety Phishing Quiz

This Jigsaw online phishing quiz is a great way to help recognise phishing, just click on the link below and it will take you to the quiz.  It does ask you to put in a name and a fake email address then you can begin.

Facilitator Notes and questions to determine understanding

 

  • Things to look out for are spelling mistakes, grammar errors, check the URL and hover over links as scammers will use ones that look very similar to the real thing 
  • If you are unsure about a domain, you can use a search engine to find out more information
  • Do not click on a link if you don’t know who the sender is or if they are asking for personal information or money
  • If in doubt about a link or an email, email or contact the company directly and they will let you know if it is legitimate. You can find contact details on the company’s website
  • Some companies even have a site where you can email them the scam email you have gotten to help them up their security and locate scammers

 Here are some questions you can ask your group:

Q1 – How did you find identifying the fraudulent emails? Easy/difficult?

Q2 – What things should you look for if you are suspicious of an email?

Q3- How could fraud affect your mental health?

Below is a resource which provides information and activities for healthier eating habits.
