What to do

Use these steps as a practical starting point.

01

Use a long, unique password

Do not reuse the same password across accounts. A password manager can help.

02

Turn on two-step verification

Use an authenticator app when available and never share a verification code.

03

Review active sessions

Sign out devices or locations you do not recognise.

04

Keep recovery details current

Make sure your recovery email and phone number still belong to you.

05

Update from official stores

Install system and app updates promptly and use trusted download sources.

Start with the account you use most and complete all five checks.
