Passwords - How to Keep them Safe Rather than Derailing your Training

This is the first of a two part set of videos discussing passwords and passkeys. Passwords matter — especially if you’re blind or have low vision. In this video, I talk about why password management is such a critical issue in access technology training. Many people use a password manager, which is ideal. Others rely on memory or the infamous “little black book.” The problem with handwritten passwords is simple: they quickly become outdated. Passwords get changed, crossed out, overwritten—or not updated at all. Over the years, I’ve worked with many clients who suddenly can’t log in to their Apple, Google, or social media accounts. Often the password was changed and forgotten. In other cases, a well-meaning family member stepped in, changed a password, or even created a new account—and didn’t pass on the details. This regularly derails training sessions. Instead of learning how devices and apps work, we end up doing password resets and multi-factor authentication just to regain access. That’s frustrating, time-consuming, and an inefficient use of everyone’s time and funding. Passwords today require capital letters, numbers, and special characters—and reusing the same password across multiple sites is risky. This video also includes a visual reminder of the “rushed family fix” versus a more sustainable solution: using a password manager. In the next video, I’ll talk about passkeys as a better, more accessible option. Keeping passwords safe isn’t just about security — it’s about independence. #AccessTechnology #DigitalAccessibility #BlindAndLowVision #InclusiveTechnology #PasswordSecurity #DigitalIndependence #AssistiveTechnology #AccessibleTech #CyberSecurity #ScreenReader #accessibilityMatters #JAWS #NVDA #VoiceOver #NDIS #DisabilityInclusion #Passwords #Passkeys #DATAAustralasia
