COVER STORY:
A world beyond passwords | Watch Video
A CBS News poll found that roughly one in four people has to reset a computer password at least once a month. And so the password process often goes -- reset it, and forget it (again).

With security breaches more common than ever before, Susan Spencer goes in search of what makes passwords unhackable, and learns about new technologies that may make passwords (even those spelled p@$$wØrd) obsolete.

 Girl Scout makes honesty her policy for cookie sales (Video)
Charlotte McCourt, 11, felt compelled to follow Girl Scout law while selling the famous cookies: “I will do my best to be honest.” As Steve Hartman reports, her honesty turned out to be the best policy.

       
TV:
Damian Lewis and the big picture | Watch Video
At this point in his career, it’s no surprise Damian Lewis has created another indelible character: an American billionaire on the Showtime series “Billions,” which premieres its second season on Sunday. Yet the former star of “Band of Brothers” and “Homeland” is actually an upper-crust Brit. “Oddly, the irony is that coming from a white-collar British background, I tend to play blue-collar Americans!” he laughed.

Jim Axelrod visits with Lewis in London, where he will soon appear on stage in Edward Albee’s “The Goat.”

IMMIGRATION:
Canada welcomes Syrian refugees | Watch Video
Nearly 7 out of 10 Canadians support their government’s acceptance of Syrian refugees. One such Good Samaritan is Jim Estill, a prominent Canadian entrepreneur and businessman. He has put up C$1.5 million to resettle 58 Syrian families -- 250 people in all -- in Guelph, a small university city west of Toronto. Why? Because he was haunted by pictures on television of Syrian cities reduced to rubble, and Syrian people dying as they tried to escape.

“My thought is, what can I do to help?” Estill told Martha Teichner. “You don’t want to grow old and say you stood by and did nothing. And it’s the right thing to do.”
