The Modern Password

The Internet has enriched our lives. But it's also given us data breaches and identity theft on a staggering scale.

Too frequently we use the same passwords on multiple online accounts. The bad guys take advantage of this, and that has led to tremendous public harm.

That's why we made this animated explainer video, The Modern Password.

Our goal with the video is to give people the latest and most up-to-date information about how to make and use modern passwords that will help keep them safer online.

We invite IT people to embed it in their websites, blogs and newsletters. We hope they use it during classes, training sessions and workshops. And we hope all of us non-techie types will take this message to heart, and share it with the people we care about.

The second animated explainer video, How To Write Down The Modern Password, is designed as a helpful tool for people who choose to write down and securely store their strong, modern passwords. This video provides users with an elegant, simple system to clearly write down passwords in a way that makes these

4-class passwords easy to use -- weeks, months or even years later.

Let's all make and use strong, modern passwords, and protect ourselves, our friends and our family online.
