Recovery
Recovery email and phone number
In Turkish: Kurtarma e-postası ve telefon numarası
The second email address or phone number on an account that the service uses to confirm it is you when you cannot log in.
When you forget a password, the service sends a link or code to the recovery email or phone. That makes these two details as powerful as the password itself: whoever controls them can take your account.
Attackers who get into an account often swap the recovery details first, so you cannot get back in. Keep them current and protected, and use an email you actually control with its own strong password and second step.
What to do
- Check that your recovery details are yours and current, especially on email, which can reset other accounts.
- Protect the recovery email itself with a unique password and two-step verification.
- Update the phone number when you change it, and keep the old SIM until all accounts are moved.
