Sending Passwords in Email ? Is it safe ?

Sending passwords through email is a common practice. It is also a very bad practice. If you are on the receiving end of a password transferred this way, be sure to change it immediately after logging in. If you remain uncomfortable, ask the sender to reset the password and use the telephone to acquire the new password.

Be very wary about trusting sensitive information with any system administrator who insists that passwords via email are safe. What other practices are considered safe at this site? Would you trust this person to protect your credit card number, for example?

Emailed passwords are dangerous for all of the following reasons:

• email is sent in plain text
• email often is stored on several systems along the way to your mailbox
• email often is stored on your computer in plain text or other unencrypted format
• many copies may exist in many places, even after “deletion”
• even encrypted email can be broken in to, given enough computing time
• your account’s security may have been compromised even before you read your email (changing the password will not help in this case)

Whether you are sending or receiving a password, security best practices recommend that you avoid email entirely. Play it safe. It’s always the best policy.

The stand can also be adjusted to 3 positions or removed entirely to make extra room and easily store away.  So, take a step ahead in potty training, delight children and make the learning experience easy and fun with CTA Digital’s iPotty for iPad.

 Comfortable and Child-Friendly Potty with Activity Stand for iPad

Potty training can be a challenge for even the most patient parents and one of the biggest hurdles is gaining the child’s interest and then keeping their attention long enough to properly potty train.  That’s where the iPotty comes in with its unique holder for the iPad. Many young children already love playing with their parents’ iPad, and now they can safely do so with the iPotty. It provides a fun and comfortable place to sit, while learning how to use the potty, playing apps, reading books or watching video clips.

Easy to Keep Clean

The next challenge in potty training is cleaning up the mess. Luckily the iPotty makes this unpleasant task very simple and hassle free with a removable inner bowl that comes with an easy to carry side handle. The potty seat also comes off separately for quick cleaning and includes an optional splashguard for the boys with its own storage location to help reduce the mess. Each part of the iPotty can be easily disassembled for wiping down and cleaning when necessary.

Touchscreen Protector Helps Guard iPad

A touchscreen cover helps keep the iPad clean and protected from smudges and little messy accidents. The cover snaps onto the back of the iPad case so it’s secure for children, but easily removed by adults. The clear screen protector provides seamless touchscreen control while guarding the display from fingerprints and messy hands.

 360° Rotating Case Easily Switches Between Views

Easily rotate between horizontal and vertical views to enjoy videos and books in the preferred layout and interact with apps.

iPad Stand Adjusts to 3 Positions

The angle of the iPad stand can be adjusted to 3 different positions to comfortably fit each child’s level and preference. The case is secured on the stand with an easy to use plastic screw and bolt. The protective case and stand can both be removed for extra room and storage needs.

Convert Potty to Child Activity Seat

A convenient clip-on seat cover is included to convert the potty seat into an activity seat so kids can have the option to play and learn with the iPad at any time.  The seat cover can also be used to help children feel more comfortable using the iPotty before training begins.

 Designed for the iPad

The secure case is designed to hold the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th generation iPad, so parents can easily hand down older models for their kids to play with as they upgrade their own tablet. The protective case also provides access for volume controls and ports for headphones and charging.

For Children 18 Month and Up

The iPotty seat is designed to support an average child from 18 months to 3 years old and up to 43 lbs.
