Account recovery
In Turkish: Hesap kurtarma
The backup route back into an account when you forget the password or lose your phone: a recovery email, number or codes.
Recovery options are the door that stays open when the main one is locked, so they are also what attackers aim for. An outdated recovery number or an old email address you no longer control can cost you the account.
Check them once in a while: are the email and phone number current, do you have backup codes, and is your recovery email itself well protected?
What to do
- Open your main accounts and check the recovery email and number.
- Save backup codes in a safe place.
- Protect the recovery email with a strong password and a second step.
