Who is trying to trick me, and how do I protect myself?

How do I know what's real, and who do I want to be online?

Day 1
Feed Simulator
React to each video like a real viewer would. Every action is a signal, and the algorithm adds up the points to choose what you see next. Watch the bars on the right.

Day 2
Would You Click It?
Read each message and decide: safe, suspicious or stop. Then check the clues with S.C.A.M.: Sender, Countdown, Ask, Mismatch. Keys 1, 2, 3 pick an answer; Enter goes to the next card.
Day 2
Password Strength Lab
Test practice passwords and see roughly how long a guessing program would need. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere.
Type something
Sam's Password Lab sheet
Tap one to test it. Rank them on paper first, then reveal.
Make it stronger
- Long beats complicated. Three or four random words that don't go together, e.g. purple-tractor-lighthouse-sings.
- Nothing about you. Names, pets, birthdays, streets and teams can be found in your posts.
- Swapping i for 1 doesn't help much. Guessing programs try those swaps first.
- Use a different password for every important account, and turn on 2FA.
- Never share a password or a code, not even with a best friend.
Day 3
Real, Fake or AI?
Decide what each item is. REAL: genuine and accurate. FAKE: false or edited to deceive. AI: made by artificial intelligence. MISLEADING: something true, shown in a way that gives the wrong idea. Keys 1 to 4 pick; Enter moves on.
