Hello, welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Neil and with me in the studio is Harry.
Hello Harry.
Now Harry, do you have many passwords?
Passwords.
You mean the set of words and numbers which I keep secret and allow me to access information?
Yes, I do actually.
I've got a few for my computer and the different websites I use.
Then there are my cards, credit card, debit card.
And there's one for my ID here at the BBC.
Yeah, OK.
And then I get the idea there.
There are too many, aren't there?
Oh, yes.
Sometimes I struggle to remember them all.
And we're advised to learn them by heart.
In other words, to have them memorised and not written down.
It's for security reasons.
