Let us tell you that Google account is not limited to just your email but your photos, contacts, passwords and many personal information are saved in it. Now in such a situation, if your Google account gets hacked then all your personal information can be in danger.
But that is why Google provides you many safety features with the help of which your data remains safe. Today we are going to tell you about 5 such settings of Google account which will keep your account completely safe.
Check account with Security Checkup
For your information, let us tell you that Google’s Security Checkup feature checks the security of your account. With the help of this feature, you can always check on which devices your account is open. Apart from this, you can keep an eye on all the activities of your account. That is why you should keep checking your account from time to time using this feature.
Check Saved Passwords Periodically
Google takes great care of the security of people’s accounts. In Google account, users get Google Password Manager feature which checks the passwords saved in it from time to time. If any password is weak or has been exposed in a data leak, it should be changed immediately. Along with this, you should keep a separate and strong password for every account.
Always keep your recovery phone number and email updated
This feature is used when you forget your password. If you ever forget your password or your account gets locked, the Recovery Phone Number and Recovery Email features are very useful. Therefore, it is wise to always keep both these information updated.
Two-Step Verification
Google offers Two-Step Verification (2FA) feature for its users. If you have not turned on this feature yet, then activate it first. After this, it will not be enough to just enter the password, but the code or authentication app that comes on your phone will also be necessary. With this, even if the password is leaked, no one will be able to log into your account easily.
Don’t give too much access to third-party apps
Let us tell you that often we log in to different websites and apps through Google Account without thinking. With time, many of these apps stop being used but they continue to get account permissions. All such unknown or unnecessary apps should not be given excessive access and should be removed as soon as possible.
