How to secure a digital account immediately after receiving it

Account delivery is a sensitive stage. Changing only the password is not enough when an old email address, phone number, or active device can still recover access.

Start with the linked email account

  • Set a strong, unique password.
  • Review the recovery email and phone number.
  • Enable two-factor authentication on your device.
  • Store recovery codes away from the account.

Review sessions and connections

End sessions you do not recognize, then review linked applications, external accounts, passkeys, and authentication devices.
