Turn on two-factor authentication for your email
Your email is the master key to every other account, because that is where password resets land. Lock it down before anything else.
- Identify which email you use: Microsoft/Outlook, Google/Gmail, or another provider — the menu names differ but the idea is identical.
- Sign in on a computer and open the account’s Security settings (not the inbox settings).
- Find the two-step or two-factor verification option and start the setup.
- Choose an authenticator app over SMS where offered — it is harder to intercept.
- Save the backup or recovery codes it gives you somewhere safe and offline.
- Sign out and sign back in once to confirm the prompt works before you rely on it.
Still stuck after those?
You’ve done the right thing by trying. Send whedo.it a quick note — what you tried, what you saw — and a senior pair of eyes will be on it the same business day.
