Things You Will Need

• N/A

Method

Beware of fake email

Hackers often send fishing emails to get account access which look like YouTube or Google. These emails ask you to login by clicking on a link. Always watch the email address of the sending and do not click on any suspicious link. You Tube never asks for your login details by email. In such a situation, you need to be alert.

Two-factor authentication

First check security settings as soon as you create a YouTube account. Go to the settings of Google Account and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). This feature provides security of two levels. This is very easy to do. You can also do this yourself.

Must keep backup

Your made content should be safe. Backup your video must be placed on a hard drive or cloud storage (eg Google Drive). This habit can protect you from heavy losses. Also check security in between.

How to make strong passwords like this

Password should be such that hackers are difficult to guess. Easy passwords like 12345 or Password can be your biggest mistake. Include letters (big and small), numbers and special characters (@, #, $, etc.) in your password. Changing passwords every 3-6 months is also a good habit.

Even if the account is hacked, where can you complain

Complaints of objectionable or illegal material related to YouTube in the country can be lodged on Cyber Crime Portal. This portal is operated by the government for reporting online crimes and can be requested for immediate action through it.
