Device & 2FA best practices
Prefer authenticator apps or hardware keys over SMS for two-factor verification. For accounts connected to retirement vehicles, reduce shared-device use and enable short auto-lock intervals.
Backup strategies
Store backup codes offline (paper or metal). For institutional/IRA accounts, follow organizational SOPs for recovery and key custody.
Monitoring
Enable alerts for new logins, withdrawals, or changes to account recovery settings. Quick alerts help you act fast when something looks off.
