Amy has invited her friend Sarah over to work on homework together. Amy needs to get into her school email to access an assignment.
I need to log into my school email. I have a really strong password for it. No one will ever guess it!
But what if someone steals it?! Or what about if they guess it and it isn't as hard as you think?! You could get hacked!
Passwords aren't always as secure as we may think! Sometimes they can be leaked through phishing, data breaches, or accidentally sharing it with someone.

So if a strong password isn't enough to keep people out of my email, how do I keep it secure?
You could download a multi factor authenticator app! I have one on my phone and I set up my email that when I log in with my password it also prompts me to put in the single use code from the app! The code keeps people out that may have gotten your password!
There are lots of ways to keep your accounts and information secure. A Multi Factor Authenticator app is one of those ways!

Meanwhile at Johnny's House
I watched Amy put in her password for her email today in class. I am so going to hack into her account and send everyone an email that she has a crush on Brad!
Grab your phone and I will help you set it up!
Put in my MFA code?! Amy didn't have to do that earlier! I can't get in!
Ok! Let's set it up right now so my account is secure!
Having a password and an MFA set up kept Amy from having her email hacked by the school bully. These are two ways for you to also keep your information private and secure!
