How do I keep my account secure?
Use a strong password, turn on two-step verification with an authenticator app, and keep your backup codes somewhere safe.

Two-step verification
With two-step verification on, you enter a 6-digit code from an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or 1Password) when you sign in.
- Go to Settings and choose Two-step verification.
- Scan the QR code with your app and enter the code it shows.
- Save your 10 backup codes somewhere safe. Each one works once if you lose your phone.
Turning it off needs your password.
How we protect your account
- After 5 wrong passwords in a row, the account is locked for 15 minutes.
- You're signed out after 60 minutes without activity, unless you chose Remember me.
- You can be signed in on one device at a time. Signing in somewhere else signs you out of the previous one.
Forgot your password?
Use Forgot password? on the sign-in page. The reset link works for 1 hour, and resetting signs you out everywhere else.
CEADC will never ask for your password or codes by email, phone or message.
