[ Example Author ](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/author/example-author) Apr 14, 2023 9:50:24 AM [How To](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/tag/how-to) ![How to secure your YouTube account?](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/Blog/2do1%20How%20to%20secure%20your%20YouTube%20account.jpg) The security of your channel is just as important as the security of your email or social media account. In fact, 4 simple steps are enough for your account to be safe and for you to sleep peacefully. **1. Turn on 2-Step Verification** to protect your account from hackers, even if they manage to get your login details. You can enable the feature by going to myaccount.google.com/security Starting November 1, 2021, access to YouTube Studio and Content Owner in Studio is only possible if 2-Step Verification is turned on for your account. For guidance on setting up 2-Step Verification and other forms of verification, visit the [Help Center.](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839) ![2stepveryfication](https://grupabbmedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/2stepveryfication.jpg?width=719&height=810&name=2stepveryfication.jpg) **2. Permissions for selected users** - check who has access to your account regularly, manage permissions. ![permissions](https://grupabbmedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/permissions.jpg?width=847&height=556&name=permissions.jpg) **3. Strong password** - set a strong password: - has more than 8 characters, - create any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, - avoid proper nouns, given names, common words and expressions or patterns such as "password123". The password should be unique. - Avoid strings of numbers or your birthday. - Remember to keep them only for yourself, do not share your login details with anyone. **4. Beware of potential scammers** - be careful with e-mails, carefully read the address from which the message came. Do not open attachments or links from unknown or suspicious e-mail addresses. Do not respond to suspicious chat messages, text messages or notifications from websites that ask for personal or financial information. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![How to Build a More Successful YouTube Channel in 2025](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/BB%20AN%20Website%20All%20in%20One/BB%20AN%20Website%20Images/file%20and%20data%20archiving_278721345-1-2.jpeg) ](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/how-to-build-a-more-successful-youtube-channel) #### [How to Build a More Successful YouTube Channel in 2025](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/how-to-build-a-more-successful-youtube-channel) [How To](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/tag/how-to) [Read More](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/how-to-build-a-more-successful-youtube-channel) [![Starting Your YouTube Channel: A Guide to Success in 2025](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/BB%20AN%20Website%20All%20in%20One/BB%20AN%20Website%20Images/ytk_491023024-1-4%20small.jpeg) ](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/starting-your-youtube-channel) #### [Starting Your YouTube Channel: A Guide to Success in 2025](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/starting-your-youtube-channel) [How To](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/tag/how-to) [Read More](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/starting-your-youtube-channel) [![The AI Revolution for YouTubers: Unleashing Creativity and Responsibility](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/Blog/DALL%C2%B7E%202024-01-11%2012.01.58%20-%20Depict%20AI%20support%20features%20in%20video%20content%20creation%20in%20a%20horizontal%20layout.%20The%20image%20should%20illustrate%20a%20futuristic%20workspace%20with%20AI%20integrated%20too.png) ](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/the-ai-revolution-for-youtubers-unleashing-creativity-and-responsibility) #### [The AI Revolution for YouTubers: Unleashing Creativity and Responsibility](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/the-ai-revolution-for-youtubers-unleashing-creativity-and-responsibility) [AI YouTube](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/tag/ai-youtube) [Read More](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/the-ai-revolution-for-youtubers-unleashing-creativity-and-responsibility) [![Step-by-Step Guide on How to Change Audio Language in YouTube Video](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/Blog/2do1%20how%20to%20change%20lang.jpg) ](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-change-audio-language-in-youtube-video) #### [Step-by-Step Guide on How to Change Audio Language in YouTube Video](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-change-audio-language-in-youtube-video) [How To](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/tag/how-to) [Read More](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-change-audio-language-in-youtube-video) [![Starting Your YouTube Channel: A Guide to Success in 2025](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/BB%20AN%20Website%20All%20in%20One/BB%20AN%20Website%20Images/ytk_491023024-1-4%20small.jpeg) ](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/starting-your-youtube-channel) #### [Starting Your YouTube Channel: A Guide to Success in 2025](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/starting-your-youtube-channel) [How To](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/tag/how-to) [Read More](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/starting-your-youtube-channel) [![5 steps on how to grow your YouTube channel and build your audience](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/Blog/1.jpg) ](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/5-steps-on-how-to-grow-your-youtube-channel-and-build-your-audience) #### [5 steps on how to grow your YouTube channel and build your audience](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/5-steps-on-how-to-grow-your-youtube-channel-and-build-your-audience) [Tips](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/tag/tips) [Read More](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog/5-steps-on-how-to-grow-your-youtube-channel-and-build-your-audience) ##### EXPLORE BB MEDIA EXPLORE BB MEDIA - [About us](https://grupabbmedia.com/about) - [Meet the team](https://grupabbmedia.com/contact) - [Insights](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog) ##### SERVICE SERVICE - [Distribution](https://grupabbmedia.com/distribution) - [YouTube Services](https://grupabbmedia.com/full-service-youtube-management) - [Post-production](https://grupabbmedia.com/post-production-and-content-lab) ##### YOUR TURN YOUR TURN - [Contact us](https://grupabbmedia.com/contact) - [Newsletter Sign Up](https://grupabbmedia.com/blog) - [Connect on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/gbbmgroup/posts/?feedView=all) ##### HOUSE OF BB MEDIA HOUSE OF BB MEDIA - [Case Studies](https://grupabbmedia.com/case-studies-0) - [Privacy](https://grupabbmedia.com/privacy-policy) [![BB Media Group ](https://grupabbmedia.com/hubfs/BB%20AN%20Website%20All%20in%20One/logo_white1.png) ](https://grupabbmedia-26707280.hs-sites-eu1.com/testbbhomepage1) - [Privacy Policy](https://grupabbmedia.com/privacy-policy) © 2026 BB Media Group | 12 Lower Hatch Street Dublin Ireland D02 R682 BB Media Group.
