Setting up a Recovery Email and Phone Number

Your email account is the key to almost everything online—banking, social media, shopping accounts, and more. That’s why it’s so important to protect it. One of the simplest ways to do this is by adding a recovery email and phone number.

What Are Recovery Emails and Phone Numbers?

A recovery email is a second email address you link to your main account. A recovery phone number is your personal mobile number that you can use to receive security codes or alerts.

Why They Matter

1. Get Back in if You’re Locked Out
   If you forget your password or get locked out, you can quickly get back in by using your recovery email or phone number.

2. Extra Security
   If someone tries to hack your account, you’ll get an alert so you can act fast and secure it.

3. Easy Password Reset
   If you need to reset your password, you can receive a reset code or link through your recovery email or phone number. It’s fast and secure.

Extra Tip

For even more security, turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). It’s an extra step that helps keep your account safe.
