Protecting account access helps protect the information behind it.
In a real estate transaction, access to an email or other transaction-related account may provide more than a way to read messages. It could expose contacts, conversations, documents, and transaction details that may potentially be used to make an impersonation attempt more convincing.
Strong account security can help reduce that risk.
According to security experts, using long, unique passwords or passphrases for each account is recommended. A trusted password manager can help create and manage unique credentials, while multifactor authentication (MFA), when available and appropriate, can add another layer of protection if a password becomes compromised.
Follow your organization’s approved security requirements and tools when using email for business purposes.
