account security
Keeping profiles safe
Account security refers to measures protecting online accounts from unauthorized access—passwords, two-factor authentication, security questions, and similar safeguards.
The term appears in warnings about threats and in settings menus: Check your account security settings.
Banks and platforms increasingly emphasize account security as digital fraud grows more sophisticated.
