Passwords, two-factor authentication, account recovery, and login safety.
Account security is about keeping criminals out of important online accounts such as email, banking, cloud storage, social media, work tools, exchanges, and shopping platforms.
A compromised account can become a doorway into many others. If an attacker controls your email, they may reset passwords, intercept alerts, impersonate you, search for financial records, or create forwarding rules that keep spying after you change a password. If they control a financial account, the risk can move quickly from privacy loss to direct money loss.
Strong account security begins with unique passwords. Reusing passwords is dangerous because one breach can unlock many accounts through credential stuffing. A password manager helps create and store long unique passwords. Two-factor authentication adds another barrier, especially when using authenticator apps, passkeys, or hardware security keys.
Recovery settings matter too. Review backup emails, phone numbers, trusted devices, active sessions, connected apps, and login alerts. Remove old devices and apps. Treat unexpected password reset emails, login notifications, or security-code requests as warning signs. If an account is compromised, secure email first, change passwords from a clean device, revoke sessions, and check forwarding rules or linked apps.
