Security best practices (after recovery)

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) — preferably an authenticator app or security key.

  • Use a password manager to generate and store strong passwords.

  • Regularly review connected devices and account activity.

  • Avoid password reuse across services.

  • Keep recovery email/phone up to date.

Common troubleshooting

  • I didn’t receive a recovery code: Check spam, verify the recovery address/number, request resend, or wait a few minutes.

  • Recovery link expired: Request a fresh recovery code or link and act immediately.

  • Account flagged or suspended: Follow the provider’s official help pages; do not use third-party “account unlock” services.

  • Someone else changed my recovery info: Use the provider’s “account compromised” flow and report the incident.

FAQ (short answers)

Q: How long does recovery take?
A: Usually minutes if you have recovery options; more time if verification requires manual review.

Q: Can a support agent reset my password for me?
A: Providers typically will not reset passwords via social media or email requests. Use the official recovery flow only.

Q: Are password reset emails safe?
A: Only if they originate from the verified provider domain. Don’t click links in suspicious emails.
