Importance of unique passwords for Social Media

Logan from Freedom Living Charitable Trust

Just a friendly reminder to make sure all of your passwords are unique on every website you create an account for.

For example how hackers can get into your Social Media accounts like Facebook is they have a list of passwords that you used in the past (typically from a shopping website that got hacked) and they do trial and error on all social media sights and even bank sites.

A good recommendation is to use randomly generated passwords a good tool for this is if you have your Gmail signed in and are using Google Chrome when you go to create an account sometimes an arrow that is performing a full circle will appear in the corner this is to generate a random password.

An alternative to the above method as it does not always appear when you create an account is to sign up for a Password manager such as Last Pass as they store all your passwords on a secured server and can work on Smart Phones too.


You can check us out on our website or feel free to email lsayers@flct.org.nz as we are more than happy to answer any questions you might have about passwords, security or technology in general.

All funds raised from our IT services goes towards helping Freedom Living support the physically disabled community nationwide!

Pipa is a seven year-old mixed breed.

"My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there. I have lots of love to give and like to be with my people. I LOVE food but this love and nose can sometimes get me into trouble. As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself. I'm a real sweet heart waiting for a family to pick me. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact us."

"Another great day for Wellington regarding wildlife. We had two youngsters in town. A young humpback whale was seen in the inner harbour. On Lyall Bay, on our Southern Coast, we had a young leopard seal, which I managed to get a few shots of!
Leopard Seals are amazing to observe, and are highly intelligent. Google, Leopard Seals on YouTube, and you will see how clever these creatures are. Leopard Seals grow to be up 3.5 metres and can weigh up to 600kgs. This juvenile was just under 2 metres, and has some growing to do!
This youngster had been in a battle ( not unusual for young leopard seals!), with some open wounds on its lower neck and torso, however was in pretty good condition otherwise."

Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.

Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽
