Learning outcomes

After this chapter, you should be able to:

  1. State the rule that Mia never asks for a password.
  2. Keep the till note shredded in the story and absent as text.
  3. Refuse to type a password into the lesson.

15.1 The manager stores secrets. This book does not repeat them.

Mia must never ask staff for their passwords, write them on paper, or send them by message. When something must be set up, the account holder signs in while she guides them. Rosa already uses a password manager. Mia helps move the shop's passwords into it. Where a service cannot give separate accounts, the shared password goes into that manager and is changed when anyone leaves. The till note, which held the shared passwords where anyone could see it, is shredded once those old passwords no longer work. None of those passwords is printed. The checklist before set does not include "no shared passwords written down"; the after set does. That shift records the habit. It does not reveal a secret, and it does not put the note back by the till. A classmate who types an example password so the shredding "makes sense" breaks the rule the chapter is teaching. Joseph checks that Mia follows the rule. The check does not produce a password either.

15.2 Worked example

Describe the container. Do not open it.

Object What the file shows Decision
Staff asked for their passwords Never Keep that ban
Shop passwords Moved into the manager Do not quote them
Till note Shredded after the old passwords failed Do not restore it
An example password Not in the book Do not add one

Synthetic case. No practice password is supplied. The manager is named only as an app.

Errors and limits

Shredding is told, not dated. A missing date does not mean the note is still beside the till.

Worked answers

EX061. None. No password is written. The till note stays shredded in the story and is not restored. The manager stays the store.
