Today we've published a new video: Secure Passwords - Explained by Common Craft

I don't know about you, but in the past I've taken passwords for granted. These days though, I'm very careful with my passwords because I know the risks and what lengths criminals will go to discover someone's password.  This video is about understanding the risks, creating a password that can't be guessed and protecting it from criminals and wandering eyes.

This video will soon be part of our Net Safety Pack, which is meant for helping students of all types understand the risks and make decisions that will protect them and their information online.

Today we published a new video called Protecting Online Reputations in Plain English.

Aimed at younger or inexperienced web users, this video helps explain the long-term risks of sharing inappropriate photos, videos and stories on the Web. We've seen the stories and heard personal accounts about people who shared an inappropriate photo that eventually caused them to lose their job or miss an opportunity. Preventing this kind of problem can come from increased awareness about how the Web works and what it means to share something with the public. This video is about taking responsibility and making choices to protect reputations.
