Account security checklist
Use this checklist after a breach, suspicious login, reused password, or phishing scare. It organizes EmailLeaked's account protection guides into the safest order: email first, passwords second, two-factor authentication third, then login sessions and recovery settings.
Priority order
Secure email first
Your email resets passwords for other accounts, so protect Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and Apple ID before lower-risk services.
Change reused passwords
Replace any password that appears on more than one site, starting with banking, email, shopping, cloud storage, and social accounts.
Turn on two-factor authentication
Use an authenticator app, passkey, or hardware key where possible. SMS is better than no second step.
Review signed-in devices
Remove old phones, unknown sessions, and browser logins you do not recognize.
Check recovery options
Update backup email addresses, phone numbers, recovery codes, and trusted devices before you lose access.
Reduce exposed profiles
Close unused accounts, remove connected apps, and limit public personal details that make phishing easier.
