Two-step sign-in stops someone who steals a password from getting in.\n\nDeadline: all student accounts by Friday, Dec 5.\n\nHow (current):\n1. Student signs in at myschool.lakeview.example.edu on a home computer.\n2. Choose \"Turn on two-step sign-in\".\n3. Scan the QR code with the School Key app on a parent's phone.\n4. Tap the number that appears.\n\nOld instructions (DO NOT USE - text-message codes were turned off Nov 1): \"Enter your parent's mobile number to receive codes by text.\"\n\nHelp: techhelp@lakeview.example.edu (replies within 1 school day).\n\nNotes: Many parents read the newsletter on their phones. Some families share one phone; that's fine, one phone can be used for several kids.","rules":[{"type":"plainText"},{"type":"maxWords","max":70}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Background first","why":"The AI opens with why accounts get hacked, and the ask comes last.","fix":"Say: \"Open with the one action and the Dec 5 deadline.\"","checks":["r0"]},{"title":"Using the old steps","why":"The AI mentions text-message codes because they're in the notes.","fix":"Add: \"Current steps only.
