The script
(Problem)Be honest. How many of your passwords are your dog's name, plus a year, plus an exclamation point? And how many sites are you using it on?
If you reuse one password, one leak can unlock a lot more than one account. But remembering forty different passwords? Nobody can do that.
(Solution)Keyfold is a password manager that remembers them for you, so you only have to remember one.
(How it works)First, create one strong master password. It's the only one you'll ever need to memorize, so make it long. A silly sentence works great.
Second, Keyfold creates a unique, hard-to-guess password for every account and fills it in for you, on your phone and your laptop.
Third, if a site you use reports a data breach, Keyfold flags it and helps you change that password in a couple of taps.
(Call to action)Your dog deserves better than being your password. Try Keyfold free, and lock things down today.

Coaching notes
- 'Be honest.' should be playful and direct, like a friend raising an eyebrow. Then rattle off 'your dog's name, plus a year, plus an exclamation point' with growing amusement.
- Turn calm and serious for 'one leak can unlock a lot more than one account.' This is where you earn the viewer's trust, so drop the jokes completely.
- 'Your dog deserves better than being your password' brings the humor back for the close. Land it with a smile, then make 'lock things down today' crisp and confident.
Try it three more ways
- Read it for a small office of non-technical employees at a Monday training.
- Read it as a slightly paranoid security expert who has seen too many hacked accounts.
- Read it for older adults, slower and extra clear, with no jargon at all.
