How to secure your social and Apple accounts as a creator

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

Short answerTurn on two-factor authentication everywhere, use a unique password for each account (a password manager helps), never share codes, and be wary of messages claiming your account will be deleted.

Two-factor authentication

Turn it on for your Apple Account, email and every social account. Authenticator apps or passkeys are stronger than SMS where offered.

Passwords

A unique password per account means one leak doesn’t unlock everything. The Passwords app on iPhone can create and store them.

Scams

No real platform asks for your login code.
Messages threatening deletion are a common scam.
Check links go to the real site before logging in.

Recovery

Keep recovery email and phone up to date, and save backup codes somewhere safe.

Questions

What if I’m locked out?

Use the platform’s official recovery and support channels only.
