Account Security Best Practices
Essential security practices to protect your TikTok LIVE account from unauthorized access and threats
Critical Security Rule
NEVER share your password with anyone. Legitimate services, including iQ LIVE Creator Network, will NEVER ask for your password. Anyone asking for your password is a scammer—report them immediately.
Security Practices
Password Security
Strong passwords are your first line of defense against unauthorized access.
- Use a strong, unique password (12+ characters, mix of letters, numbers, symbols)
- Never reuse passwords across platforms
- Change your password regularly
- Never share your password with anyone
- Use a password manager to generate and store secure passwords
Two-Factor Authentication
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security.
- Enable 2FA in your TikTok account settings
- Use an authenticator app (more secure than SMS)
- Keep backup codes in a safe place
- Don't share your 2FA codes with anyone
- Update your 2FA method if you change devices
Phishing Protection
Learn to recognize and avoid phishing attempts that target your account.
- Never click suspicious links in emails or messages
- Verify the sender before clicking any links
- Check URLs carefully—phishing sites often look similar
- Never enter your password on external sites
- When in doubt, go directly to TikTok's official website
Account Monitoring
Regularly monitor your account for suspicious activity.
- Review your account activity regularly
- Check for unauthorized logins or changes
- Monitor your content for unauthorized posts
- Review connected apps and third-party access
- Report suspicious activity immediately
Security Red Flags & Actions
Unexpected login notifications
If you receive a login notification you didn't initiate, change your password immediately and enable 2FA if you haven't already.
Changes you didn't make
If you notice account changes you didn't make, secure your account immediately and review all recent activity.
Suspicious messages or emails
Don't click links or provide information. Verify the sender through official channels before taking any action.
Requests for your password
Legitimate services (including iQ) will NEVER ask for your password. This is always a scam—report it immediately.
