Configure Account Settings
Registering your email address and phone number in the account settings can protect your account. This increases the chances of recovering your account if you can no longer log in.
Set Up 2-Step Verification
Setting up 2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of identity confirmation, reducing the probability of unauthorized access. For more advanced 2-Step Verification, a separate app like "Authenticator" is required.
