set up 2FA and a password manager
bitwarden is great
Why a password manager tho? And also 2fa was enabled on my previous acc still that happened.
password manager so you can use different and secure passwords for everything. #1 thing that gets people hacked is reusing emails and passwords on other sites, and if that site gets a security breach which leaks said passwords and emails bad actors try those to login to other sites
if 2FA was enabled then your email was compromised as well and should lock that down
set up 2FA on your email by using an authenticator app. google authenticator is good and easy to setup for that
look up your email on haveibeenpwned
Damn thanks man, you're the first person who didint made fun of me and really helped me, I'll do all these things asap, thanks again man
np man u gotta keep your skins safe. if you want to be really safe just only log into your email on your phone so if you download shady software on your PC they won’t have access to your email to change everything, but in reality just run everythjng you download through virustotal and keep windows defender on and you should be good
It does say found on 2 sites
hm sure man I'll follow that up, good advice, tbh these things never in the past I always took very safe steps still it happened, anyways, can I add you man?
sure man. yeah getting hit by a security breach is something that can happen to anybody because it doesn’t require you to give up your password in a phishing link or download malware. most people don’t bother to use password managers and just setting one up makes you a 10x harder target and honestly makes it easier to log in to sites really
do those and maybe reinstall windows if you think it’s possible you’ve installed something shady and you can have pretty much total peace of mind in an hour
if you haven’t yet though you should really try and go through riot support to get your account back. if your email was at a point set up for 2FA and you still have it you should have enough to get it back
if nothing else you’ll have some radianite for the skins you are gonna get
I did contacted no support, like they couldn't verify that it was me yk
I had nothing much
To share with them
Though I will try to tell them Abt 2fa thing
I didint tell them about that
you should find the payment method you used for the battle pass and see if you can provide that too for verification
Bro bro
I provided them with the receipt of the purchase I made
As I still had access to like that gmail, like when I bought the battlepass yk
Though am confused about one thing is that uh, wait I'll send u the ss
@jim I'll send u this ss on dm man
