Protecting your digital presence is essential. The guidance below outlines simple, high-impact steps to keep your profiles secure and private.


Strengthen Access

  • Enable 2FA on every platform.
    Note: TikTok 2FA can only be enabled through the mobile app.

  • Update passwords regularly—especially if an account hasn’t been accessed in 6+ months.

Maintain Your Profiles

  • Even dormant profiles should be checked periodically to ensure no unauthorized activity.

  • Review each platform’s privacy and security settings individually, as they change often.

Protect Your Identity

  • Impersonation is increasingly common. Platforms typically remove impersonators more quickly when a legitimate, active profile exists.

  • When someone is impersonated without having an account on that platform, removal can be slower due to varying “Community Standards.”

Elevated Guidance

A few thoughtful steps, 2FA, password hygiene, periodic checks, and privacy reviews, go a long way in safeguarding your online identity.
