Imagine your phone is like a treasure chest, you use a password to open it and get your stuff. When you type in the password, it checks if it's correct. If it is, your phone opens up for you. The same thing happens when you log into an app or website, the password helps it know you are trying to access it.
Examples
- When you type your school login details, the system checks if it knows your password, just like opening a door.
- You use a password every day, even when you're just turning on your smartwatch.
