Key details
Security starts with your login. A strong password and two-factor authentication stop most account issues.
We recommend using a password manager and changing your password if it is reused elsewhere.
Two-factor authentication adds a short code when you log in, keeping your account safe even if a password leaks.
Step-by-step
- Open your profile in the dashboard.
- Set a strong, unique password.
- Enable two-factor authentication and save backup codes.
Quick checklist
