I regularly hear from people who’ve had their email or other online account
\ncompromised, who somehow are able to recover access to it and change their
\npassword, only to have the account stolen almost immediately again.<\/p>\n

The problem is actually quite simple, though the solution is a bit of
\nwork.<\/p>\n

First, you have to realize that while someone else has access to your account
\nthey have access to everything<\/em> related to that account.<\/p>\n

Second, you have to realize that because of that, changing your password
\njust isn’t enough<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You authenticate with most online systems by providing a user name and a
\npassword. Your username might well be publicly visible, but your password
\nshould be known only to you.<\/p>\n

Most systems also provide a mechanism whereby you can recover or reset your
\npassword should you forget it. They use a variety of means, but they all boil
\ndown to the same thing: they use one or more additional pieces of information
\nto validate that you are who you say you are, and then reset or reissue your
\npassword.<\/p>\n

“It’s those ‘additional pieces of information’ that
\npresent the greatest risk once your account has been compromised.”<\/div>\n

It’s those “additional pieces of information” that present the greatest risk
\nonce your account has been compromised.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at some examples of what I mean, why they’re a risk, and what you
\nshould do about each in addition to changing your password.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/a><\/p>\n
