Importance of unique passwords for Social Media

Logan from Freedom Living Charitable Trust

Just a friendly reminder to make sure all of your passwords are unique on every website you create an account for. For example how hackers can get into your Social Media accounts like Facebook is they have a list of passwords that you used in the past (typically from a shopping website that got hacked) and they do trial and error on all social media sights and even bank sites.

A good recommendation is to use randomly generated passwords a good tool for this is if you have your Gmail signed in and are using Google Chrome when you go to create an account sometimes an arrow that is performing a full circle will appear in the corner this is to generate a random password.

An alternative to the above method as it does not always appear when you create an account is to sign up for a Password manager such as Last Pass as they store all your passwords on a secured server and can work on Smart Phones too.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
