Even during a public health emergency and a global pandemic, hackers are busy attempting to steal your account information. The good news is, you can secure your account easily. To secure your YouTube channel, take these four simple steps:
1. Enable 2-Step Verification, which means you’ll protect your account with both your password and an additional device.You can activate 2SV for your Google Account by visiting g.co/2sv and clicking “Get Started”.
2. Set channel-level permissions under ‘Settings’ on your dashboard and check they’re correct on a regular basis, as this determines who has access to your YouTube channel.
3. Create a strong password and do not share. A secure password, that includes a combination of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, and updated recovery information help protect your Google Account. We recommend you do not share your password with anyone.
4. Avoid & report phishing and malware scams. Phishing is an attempt to trick you into revealing personal information, such as a password, or to download files or software, which can be ‘malware’ that’s designed to harm your computer or mobile device. Knowing what to look for means you can get ahead of potential scams like these.
