“Password Protector” represents the security risks correlated with IOT and the daily web related activity. “Password Protector” raises an important issue of online security and teaches people about the importance of strong passwords. Passwords are only as secure as who you store them with, and most people with malicious intent target websites or services that hold databases of information with names, emails and passwords rather than the individual. “Password Protector” is a desk companion that, notifies the user whenever a website has been broken into, it creates visual and audio prompts to demonstrate how regularly they occur. It creates a dystopian future where every website that gets hacked is connected to you and holds your information.
The device promotes storing multiple passwords of varying complexities to ensure a secure account with restricted consequences if there was a breach. Covid-19 has acted as a catalyst for many people wanting to continue or improve their mental and physical wellbeing by embracing nature. This has allowed many unexperienced people take up outdoor hobbies like hillwalking as a means of exercising. However, the feedback I have received regarding the social and self-induced pressures can often discourage amateurs, particularly during the map reading and navigation aspects when the others in the group are directly affected.
