To access a website or online account, you usually need two things: a username and a password. These two terms are often confused by beginners, even though they serve very different purposes.

In this video, you will see clear explanations and real examples of login screens, including Gmail and the Toronto Public Library website. You will also learn common mistakes to avoid when entering your username and password.

A username identifies who you are.
A password proves that it is really you.
