Passwords are like secret codes that let you into your favorite apps and websites. Sometimes, when you copy a password on your phone or computer, it doesn’t stay there forever, it might disappear after a while. It's like writing down a secret code on a sticky note, but then the sticky note gets taken away by someone else.
Examples
- Your mom copies your password to help you log in, but it disappears before she can show you how to use it.
- You copy a password on your phone, then go to bed, the next morning, it’s gone.
- You paste a password into an app and leave it open for 10 minutes, suddenly it's deleted.
