Keep Your Passwords Secret

Your password is an important piece of your digital identity. It is essentially a digital version of your signature - allowing people to commit you to things such as purchases, agreements, not to mention access to various services where you make have used a similar password. If your password is identified by someone else, they can gain access to files, email, personal information and much much more. They can modify or delete files, commit you to services or purchase items on your behalf. There is also a possibility that a crime could be committed.

Passwords are another pieced of our identities, and need to remain as private as possible.
