• Change Password: Update your password with your email provider first (e.g., Microsoft 365, Gmail, Yahoo). Then, update it in Outlook by following the instructions on the Microsoft Support page.

• Use a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
• Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or common words.

What should I do if my password is compromised?

Change Your Password Immediately

• For the compromised account: Log in and change your password to something strong and unique. If you can’t log in, use the account recovery options provided by your email service.
• For other accounts: If you use the same password for other accounts, change those passwords as well.

• Add an extra layer of security: Enable 2FA on your accounts. This usually involves receiving a code on your phone or using an authentication app like Google Authenticator or Authy.

• Review recent activity: Look for any suspicious activity or unauthorized access. Most email services have a section where you can see recent logins and activities.

• Ensure your recovery options are up-to-date: Make sure your security questions, recovery email, and phone number are current and secure.

• Run a full system scan: Use a reputable antivirus or anti-malware program to check your device for any malicious software that might have compromised your password.

• Inform your contacts: If you suspect that your email account was used to send spam or phishing emails, let your contacts know so they can be cautious.

• Keep an eye on your accounts: Regularly check your accounts for any unusual activity and consider using a service that monitors for potential breaches.

• Generate and store strong passwords: A password manager can help you create and manage strong, unique passwords for all your accounts.
