In a organization, it is simple – the IT department watches over our security. Password policies, procedures, training, blocking suspicious websites… But at home? We are left to our own devices, and it is precisely here that we often make decisions that compromise the security of our entire family. Especially when it comes to the yongest ones, who are just learning to nagivage the digital world.
We are proud to annouce that perc.pass has become an official partner of the book “Mikołaj i tajemnica Wifika” by Monika Świetlińska. This project helps parents approach the topic of cybersecurity, which too often gets put off until it’s “too late” due to the rush of daily responsibilities.
Mikołaj is 7 years old and does the exact same things as your child
He watches cartoons on a tablet, plays computer games with his peers, and knows how to answer the phone by himself. In the online world, just like in real life, he happens to make mistakes that put him in danger. How do you talk to a young child without scaring them, while effectively teaching them good habits?
Meet Wifik – a plush capybara that appears exactly when the internet becomes unfriendly. Through an engaging story and colorful ilustrations, the book speaks a language that resonates with the youngest audience, showing everyday scenarios such as answering strange phone calls or sharing data online.
For parents, on the other hand, it is a ready-to-use tool. Each chapter ends with a “cyber-lesson” and tips on how to start a conversation with your child that we often simply don’t know how to approach.
Before you lecture your child, look at yourself
The book helps educate children, but the truth is that awareness is needed primarily by us – adults. Children learn through observation. It is hard to demand caution online from a seven-year-old if we ourselves use the dog’s name combined with our birth yerar to log into the bank.
Password management in the comfort of home is still a rarity, and in many households, the topis simply does not exist. Weak combinations reused across multiple places (e.g., hometown + partner’s date of birth) are the standard. And if a particular service forces a more complex security policy on us? Well… them we usually have trouble logging in again.
The Polish password manager supports families
Conversation, education, and building awareness are elements we cannot afford to skip. But in the daily rush, we need tools that make maintaining digital hygiene easier for us. Perc.pass will ensure that you never have trouble logging into your favourite streaming platform or electronic school diary again.
How does perc.pass help protect home security?
- Only one password to remember: To access their vault, a family member only needs to remember one Master Password. The system will automatically generate, remember, and autofill stron, complex passwords or every other service.
- Breach verification: At any moment, you can check whether your passwords remain secure and are not present in data leaks, which are frequently related to shoping or entertainment platforms, etc.
- Password sharing: Shared accounts (Netflix, Spotify, educational platforms) can be securely shared with family members in an encrypted group. Everyone has access to them without the need to send passwords via SMS or shout combinations across the house.
Cybersecurity doesn’t always start in the server rooms of massive corporations. We should build good habits, especially in the youngest, primarily in the living room, on the couch, during a conversation. It is worth doing it with Wifik!
