Use official account pages
Open the provider’s website or app directly instead of following a link in an unexpected message. Account recovery and unlock decisions remain with the provider.
- Use a unique password
- Enable provider-supported multi-factor authentication
- Keep recovery details current
- Review active sessions and forwarding rules
Treat codes as credentials
A one-time code proves control of your account. Do not read it to a caller or paste it into a support form. A legitimate technician can wait while you complete the official sign-in privately.
Check suspicious changes
If messages are missing or contacts receive mail you did not send, review forwarding, filters, recovery details, and active sessions from a trusted device.
