Why Do We Use Passwords for Security?

Imagine your house has a lock, and the only way in is with a special key. A password is like that key, it lets you enter a secret place (like your computer or bank account). If someone else gets your key, they can get into your house too! That’s why we use passwords to keep our stuff safe.
