1- PASSWORD PROTECTION
- Pick a unique password that you haven't previously used on other sites or on Gmail. Just changing one character or number still counts as reusing your password.
- Don't use a dictionary word or a common word that's easily guessable. Use a combination of numbers, characters, and case-sensitive letters.
2- RECOVERY OPTIONS
- Recovery email address: We can use your recovery email address to communicate with you if you lose access to your account.
- SMS: We can send you a recovery code to your mobile phone number, which you can use to reset your password.
- Secret question: This option is only available if you can't use the above recovery options and only if haven't tried to sign in during the past 24 hours. An ideal answer to your security question is easy for you to remember, but hard for others to guess.
