Prevent account hacking 6 years ago
Hi everyone, I frequently see appeals in which people claim their account to be hacked and your legit reply is that there are plenty of ways to prevent it.
I have never done anything special to make my account "safe" and I would be so annoyed if this would happen to me.
So, I would like to know and apply those strategies to prevent my account to be hacked, do you have any tips for me?
I hope this is not ot, thanks all.

un ban me plz 6 years ago
Angry Cuban already told you to stick to one ban appeal, there is no need to post multiple appeals: the staff members will come to you as soon as possible compatibly with their private life and work.
Just be patient.

Yes, I was trying to keep only my cell number in the 2FA but I realized that it is not possible with EA."Mind that passwords are useless when you fill in your pass on any website other then the official EA site. Phishing is something to watch out for. So always double check mails you get that ask you to login.

2FA is a 2nd layer of security when someone has a password from you. So never, ever share your 2FA codes with anyone!
With EA, a weak link in the 2FA is e-mail. You can not disable it as a 2nd 2FA option. So I suggest you to use an e-mail that also supports 2FA like outlook and gmail. Most ISP mails do not support 2FA.

By the way I do use outlook with 2FA, thanks again for all the tips.

I will check it ;)"For a local pass manager, I suggest you Keepass.

There are also paid cloud based pass managers, but I personally want to keep my passes on my own system instead of somewhere on a random server.

Thank you both!
I'm glad I already do all the things mentioned by Riotranz.
I never heard of password managers, I'll take a look.
