What are the security risks of Godaddy?
You only need Godaddy's login account and password to control everything in your account, including changing the password, email address, and domain name transfer. All this requires only the login account and password, does it sound incredible? Back to the incident in 2011 that was mentioned at the beginning, it is not hard to imagine how terrible many people "walk the world with the same account and password", and my Godaddy account was stolen for this reason.
What are the only security measures for Godaddy?
In fact, in addition to changing our surfing habits and enhancing our Security awareness, we can also use some background functions of Godaddy for Security Settings, as shown below (login Account-Settings-Account Security Settings ):
1. Security password
Password settings should be as complex as possible, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols, and passwords with more than 10 digits (remember to write down the password in your notebook)
2. The account user name is unique
Why do we need to set this separately? Because if your username has been used elsewhere, this increases the risk of theft, even if your password is the only one that has been used, frequent attempts by "people with heart" will also lead to account locking and password retrieval and other troubles.
3. Enable login mobile phone verification twice
This function is mandatory for accounts with important domain names. In addition, Godaddy supports Chinese users' mobile phones. After two verification requests are set, you must enter the mobile phone verification code to log in!
After successful activation, you must receive the mobile phone verification code before logging on again. This makes your account more secure!
I followed the Godaddy verification function and received text messages very quickly!
Well, pay attention to the above three points. I believe your Godaddy account should be safe.
