Putting it together

The triangle, the second lock, and the borrowed computer plan, all in one place. Then a certificate with your name on it.

What you learned

The Identity Triangle

Every proof a computer accepts is something you know, something you have, or something you are. Passwords, phones, and fingerprints are the three corners wearing different outfits.

Two locks are better than one

MFA means proof from at least two different corners. Turn it on first for your email, banking, health, government, and social-media accounts. When you have a choice, an authenticator app is generally safer than a texted code. Passkeys can replace passwords on sites that offer them.

The borrowed computer plan

The 3-2-1 recovery rule means three ways back in, two places to keep recovery information, and one plan for the bad day. It keeps one lost device from becoming your only route into your accounts.

Test your learning

Six questions, one from every corner of the mini-module. No grades, no time limit, and the certificate at the bottom is yours either way.

That is the mini-module. You can name the three corners, you know why two locks beat one, and you have a plan for the bad day. Scroll down and put your name on it.

Collect your certificate

Type your name, then print the certificate or save it as a PDF from the print window. You now know two good places to keep a PDF.
