Account protection
This service helps secure online accounts: setting up robust passwords, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), choosing and configuring a password manager. It addresses prevention of phishing, identity theft, account takeover and other fraud schemes flagged by the NCSC.
- Assess the strength of existing passwords and propose robust passwords (length, complexity, uniqueness).
- Set up or strengthen two-factor authentication (2FA) on essential accounts (email, banking, social media, cloud).
- Choose and configure a password manager suited to your use (local, encrypted, securely synchronised).
- Identify at-risk accounts (weak or reused passwords, no 2FA) and prioritise improvements.
- Spot signs of account compromise (suspicious logins, unauthorised changes, email forwarding rules).
- Raise awareness of best practices against phishing, social engineering and password-cracking attempts.
- Reconstruct a timeline of the security actions carried out.
- Document the configurations put in place and provide a follow-up notice.
