How to secure your YouTube account?

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.

  • 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.
