TikTok
TikTok introduced Security Checkup, an all-in-one dashboard designed to help users safeguard their accounts. The tool is available in the Security & Permissions section of Settings and Privacy.
It provides a step-by-step guide to key features that help protect accounts:
Phone/Email: Link a phone number and email for a backup login method.
2-Step Verification: Add an extra layer of protection when logging in from unfamiliar devices.
Your Devices: Review and remove unrecognized or inactive logins.
Security Activity: Detects and flags unusual account behavior.
Passkey: Use Face ID or Touch Unlock for a seamless, secure sign-in.
Why It Matters: Account security is critical, especially for creators and brands who rely on TikTok for their business and audience engagement.
By introducing Security Checkup, TikTok aligns with platforms like Google and Instagram in offering users more control over their account protection. These tools help prevent unauthorized access, reduce the risk of account takeovers, and ensure a smoother experience for users who depend on the platform.
