Sans Ouch for November 2026: Account Recovery

Gang,

We’re getting back in to Sans, and I am going to try and get us back and running with posting these things.

This month, we’re talking about account recovery.

We’ve all been there. Somehow, an account gets compromised. Maybe you forgot your password, and it isn’t compromised.

There are 5 things that should be done.

1. Check Your Recovery Information
2. Save Your Recovery Codes
3. Have More Than One Way Back In
4. Protect Your Recovery Email Account the Most
5. Keep Recovery Information Private

These are things to do and the newsletter talks about each one. Locked Out of Your Account? How to Get Back In is the newsletter, please read it and learn. Maybe it’ll give you some good things you’ve not thought of.

Let us know if there’s anything else you do besides these 5 things. How do you handle this?
