Protect your account
Security Best Practices
Most account compromises come from phishing and weak passwords — not sophisticated hacking. These simple habits close that gap.
Use a strong, unique password
- Aim for at least 12 characters mixing letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Never reuse a password from another site — if one account leaks, reused passwords let attackers into everything else.
- Consider a password manager to generate and store unique passwords securely.
Turn on two-factor authentication
If the platform offers two-factor authentication (2FA), enable it. This means even if someone learns your password, they still can't log in without the second verification step — typically an OTP sent to your phone or email.
Recognize phishing attempts
- Urgent language: Messages demanding immediate action ("verify now or lose your account") are a classic pressure tactic.
- Look-alike links: Hover over links before clicking to check the actual destination domain.
- Requests for OTPs or passwords: No legitimate support team will ever ask you to read out or type in your OTP or password to them directly.
- Unofficial channels: Be cautious of "support" reaching out first via social media DMs, random calls, or messaging apps.
Keep your devices secure
- Keep your operating system, browser, and any apps updated.
- Avoid logging in on shared or public computers when possible.
- Log out of sessions on devices you no longer use.
- Use a screen lock (PIN, biometric) on the device where your app is installed.
If you suspect your account is compromised
- Change your password immediately through the official site.
- Enable two-factor authentication if you haven't already.
- Review recent account activity for anything you don't recognize.
- Contact official support to report the issue and ask about additional protective steps.
