A hacked or compromised account can be a nightmare. But with these tips, it need not be the end of the world
Email accounts have become more than a longstanding method of communication, morphing into the centre of your digital world as the user login for hundreds of services from shopping to socials. So when you forget your password, your email gets stolen or hacked, it can be a total nightmare.
Here’s what to do if the worst happens. Quickly taking these steps can help get you back into your email and safeguard the many other accounts linked to it.
Try to change your password from a device that’s already logged in.
Use a familiar device in a familiar location that you have frequently used your email account from before, such as your computer or a phone on your home wifi. Use the same browser you usually would if you have more than one installed.
