Overview
A hardened account can still be undermined by a compromised device — one running out-of-date software, left unlocked, or carrying malware that captures what you type. Because you sign in from your phone and computer, their security is part of your account's security.
What to do
- Install updates promptly — they fix the flaws attackers exploit.
- Use a screen lock (PIN, fingerprint or face) on every device.
- Run reputable security software and don't install software from untrusted sources.
- Enable find-my-device so a lost device can be located or wiped.
Pair this with a passkey and 2FA. If a device is lost, see reporting a lost device.
