Password lab — Cybersecurity Analyst · Pretender
The fictional Escola do Rio is creating new student accounts. You test which passwords are strong, which are weak, and which should never be used because they're already leaked. Sort each password into the right group.
🛡️ Defensive practice only, with fictional systems. Never test security on accounts or networks that aren't yours.

Your role
You're the school's security analyst (in this game).
Your goal
Sort each password into the right group.
What you know
- Long passphrases of random words are strong and easy to remember. Names, birthdays and keyboard patterns are weak.
Limits
- These are example passwords — never type your real one into a game.
Success looks like
- Strong — You recognised long, unpredictable passwords.
- Weak — You spotted guessable passwords.
- Leaked — You blocked passwords that are on leak lists.
Skills you used
- Vigilance — Noticing warning signs early.
- Logical thinking — Following steps and rules precisely.
In real life
Security teams block passwords found in public leak lists and encourage long passphrases, a password manager and two-step verification.
