The decision they practise
In “A message from the ‘service desk’”, a chat, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “One password, many doors”; and “How strong is it?”.
