Account Security

Built-in features that protect your account from misuse.

Your account holds your reviews, settings, and contacts. We build many layers of security around it so even a stolen password is not enough.

Strong Login

We require strong passwords and check them against known breach lists. We also support hardware keys, app-based codes, and SMS codes for two-factor sign-in.

Smart Alerts

We email you when a new device signs in, a password is changed, or a sensitive setting is updated. Each email has a 'this was not me' link that locks the account in one click.

Recovery Without Pain

If you lose your password and your second factor, recovery uses backup codes you saved at sign-up plus a verified email. We do not let support staff log you in without these checks.

Quick tips

  • Use a password manager.
  • Save backup codes somewhere offline.
  • Turn on two-factor right after sign-up.
  • Reply to security emails promptly.
