Hello developers,

As account scamming tactics evolve, we remain ever-vigilant in promoting good account security practices. Here are some good tips to follow on keeping your accounts secure:

If two-factor authentication (2FA)/two-step verification (2SV) is available, use it. Enabling 2FA/2SV allows you a second line of defense against malicious user attempting to access your account. While we understand that having to verify yourself twice-over can be tedious, the extra step is worth it to protect your account against unauthorized access.

Enabling 2FA/2SV allows you a second line of defense against malicious user attempting to access your account. While we understand that having to verify yourself twice-over can be tedious, the extra step is worth it to protect your account against unauthorized access. Use unique passwords for all accounts. One of the easiest ways you can get your accounts stolen doesn’t even have to involve you. When you sign up for a website using a password, you’re effectively trusting that the website to have impenetrable security that will never allow malicious people to access your account information. This is not always the case, and many notable security breaches back this up. Think of your passwords like keys: if you use the same password for every website, you’re effectively creating a bunch of copies of the same key; if someone steals that key, they can get into anything that key is used for! Unique passwords are one of the most important practices in keeping everything secure.

Any information you share via digital communications has the chance to wind up in the hands of someone else; sharing things like your address and phone number is ill-advised. If people start asking you about your life, like old pet names or your birthday, and you don’t know why, they are likely phishing for information they can use to guess your passwords.
