Enhancing Account Security
In today’s digital age, ensuring the security of our online accounts is more crucial than ever. With increasing threats such as unauthorized access and automated credential theft, it’s essential to adopt robust security measures. Here, we announce some upcoming changes and outline several strategies to enhance account security and the benefits they bring.
Increasing Our Account Security Measures
To safeguard our accounts, we are implementing stronger security protocols. This includes introducing challenges that confirm the identity of the account owner under specific security conditions. By doing so, we can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account.
Benefits of Enhanced Security
- Reduce Unauthorized Access: By implementing identity confirmation challenges, we can prevent account takeovers, ensuring that only legitimate account owners can access their accounts.
- Remove Automated Credential Theft: Enhanced security measures help combat credential stuffing attacks, where automated systems attempt to gain access using stolen credentials.
How Identity Confirmation will work
One effective method of confirming identity is through challenges such as CAPTCHAs or email one-time passwords (OTPs). These measures require you to verify your identity, adding an extra layer of security to the login process, for more details see our support page. Two examples you may see going forward are reCAPTCHA or a one-time password emailed to you.
Increase Your Account Security
One of the most effective ways to bolster your account security is by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This additional step not only improves security but also significantly reduces potential risks. By requiring a second form of verification, such as a code generated on your mobile device, you can ensure that even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure.

In conclusion, by adopting these measures, we can create a safer online environment. Implementing identity confirmation challenges and enabling 2FA are just a few steps we can take to protect our accounts from unauthorized access and automated attacks. Prioritizing account security is not just a personal responsibility; it’s a necessary action in our increasingly interconnected world.
