I understand your concern about account security. Currently, VALORANT mainly offers two-factor authentication (2FA) via email to help secure accounts. While there is no official option to add a phone number for additional security at the moment, it's a popular request. Here are some steps you can take to improve your account security: 1. Use a Strong, Unique Password: Ensure your password is a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols and isn't used for any other accounts. 2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Ensure 2FA is enabled on your Riot account for an extra layer of security. 3. Secure Your Email: Make sure the email associated with your Riot account also has strong security measures, including 2FA if possible. 4. Regularly Monitor Your Account: Check for any suspicious activity and report it immediately. 5. Avoid Sharing Account Information: Never share your account details with anyone. For the latest updates on security features, you might want to keep an eye on Riot Games' official announcements and support pages.

the best possible way of having a secure account is having a variety of passwords especially the email one as its the most important one

did you do anything about it? he might still have access to your pc there is a hacker attack that activates after 3-8 months to make the user not aware what they did wrong you might be the target of that the best thing i would do is wipe your disc and reinstall windows or whatever operating system you have
