Recovery

Login alerts

In Turkish: Giriş uyarıları

Notifications from a service when your account is used from a new device or place, which help you notice a takeover early.

An email or notification such as "new sign-in from a device you do not use" is one of the best early warnings. If it was not you, it means someone has your password or your code.

Fake alerts exist too, and they push you to click a "secure your account" link. The safe way is to ignore the link, open the service yourself and look at recent activity there.

What to do

  1. Turn on login alerts for email, banking and social accounts, where they exist.
  2. If an alert was not you, change the password and sign out of all devices right away.
  3. Do not click links in the alert; open the app or site yourself.
