Password

Passwords are like secret codes that help keep your information and stuff safe. You can think of them like a special knock or pattern your have to use to get in a door. Only you know what your password is, and you should never share it with anyone else. Whenever you sign up for something, like an online account, a website, or email, you usually have to give them a password so that you can use that site and only you can sign in to it. That way, no one else can get into your account and see your stuff.
