Did you know today is World Password Day? Neither did we, but nonagenarian actress and living legend Betty White does and apparently has a whole bunch of advice for keeping our digital stuff safe.
White partnered up with Passwordday.org to create a series of informational, humorous and suggestivevideos to promote keeping your password protected.

These "pep-talks" dig into the ways multi-factor authentication can protect your information from prying eyes. Standard password protection is one factor, usually just your password. However, multifactor authentication asks for another element, like your fingerprint, eyes, face or even a pin code sent to a separate device, such as your smartphone.
"You don't get to my age unless you're practicing safe sec... [security]," she says.
The site, which offers more detail on how to get your password life in order, is chiefly the work of Intel Security (along with a bunch of co-sponsors), which is part of a company, Intel, that makes all kinds of hardware that can help you log into your computer with more than just a password. Its Intel RealSense infrared cameras are what allow some Windows 10 users to log into their computers with their faces.
White plays up solid security information for laughs and peppers the videos with saucy lines like, "If those tablets got a hold of my passwords... Well, it would be quite an endorsement for hot yoga."
And another: "You don't get to my age unless you're practicing safe sec..." Yes, that sounds like "sex," but the words "safe security" appear just below.
Even if all the jokes don't land, there is a certain pleasure in hearing White say the words "multifactor authentication."
Considering all the times celebrities have been the victims of hacks, largely due to weak passwords, it's part genius to have one of the most senior and wisest celebrities around deliver a strong, humor-laced message about password security.
