Creator Security FAQ
Answers to the most common security questions creators search for.
The most common routes are phishing links, fake brand deals, stolen session tokens, and account recovery takeovers like SIM swaps.
Secure your email, reset passwords, enable 2FA, and follow the platform recovery steps immediately. Start with the recovery guide in this hub.
2FA is essential, but session token theft and SIM swaps can still bypass it. Pair 2FA with password managers, backup codes, and link scanning.
Use platform roles when available, avoid password sharing, and rotate access with backup codes and strong manager-controlled credentials.
Verify the sender domain, avoid unexpected attachments, and confirm details through official channels before clicking anything.
