Recovery
Security checkup
In Turkish: Güvenlik kontrolü
A regular review of your key accounts: passwords, second step, recovery details, devices and connected apps.
Many services offer a built-in checkup page that lists weak points. Doing one every few months catches an old password, an outdated recovery phone or a device you no longer use before they cause trouble.
Start with the accounts that can reset all others, such as your main email and your phone account, then banking and social media. Ten minutes on those has the biggest effect.
What to do
- Put a reminder in your calendar every three to six months to review your main accounts.
- Check passwords, two-step verification, recovery details, devices and connected apps.
- Use the Password Check tool to see whether a password has appeared in known leaks.
