Tech-mommy: Internet passwords provide life lessons
An ongoing issue in our lives, almost as important as finding our car keys, is how to manage all those internet passwords so that we can protect our families and our financial security. We learned a big life lesson a few weeks ago about giving our children access to our iTunes, Paypal, Hulu, Netflix and other internet accounts.
We thought it would be smart to keep all our passwords in a file on our desktop so we would not forget them. Well, it took a few years but the children figured out where to find the passwords. The kids didn’t mean to spend money recklessly but they didn’t understand that every time you buy a new song on iTunes or a movie on Amazon mom has to pay.
