  abstract = {In contemporary culture, individuals increasingly need to manage an ever-expanding array of personal profiles and online accounts. Yet, the level of understanding about the importance of strong password security continues to be a major weakness in cybersecurity. Despite the availability of various tools for password protection, the necessity of teaching users and expanding their awareness about the significance of password strength and the associated cybersecurity threats cannot be overstated. Moreover, the popularity of gamification as a method for teaching and overcoming obstacles across various areas, particularly those linked to motivation and focus, has increased recently. This paper delves into the idea of a two-dimensional game where participants confront specific challenges designed to replace outdated, weak passwords with new, more robust ones while navigating to avoid losing access to multiple platforms. The game’s addition of time limitations and simulated cyber threats enhances the educational experience. It highlights the critical nature of the subject, illustrating the potential of gamification in boosting awareness about password security.},
