Social media account safety

Your social account credentials are valuable. A good marketing workflow should minimise unnecessary access and make it easy to detect suspicious activity.

Never reuse passwords

Use a unique, strong password for each important account. A password manager can make this practical without relying on memory.

Turn on two-factor authentication

Use the strongest 2FA method offered by the platform where practical, and keep recovery codes somewhere secure.

Watch for fake login pages

Do not enter passwords after following an unexpected message or link. Open the platform directly and verify the domain before signing in.

Do not share credentials unnecessarily

Most marketing workflows should not require your password. If a provider legitimately needs access, understand exactly why, what permissions are required and how access can be revoked.

Review platform policies

Social networks can change their rules. Check the current platform policy before using a third-party service, especially for automated activity or account access.
