What to Do If You Receive an Unrequested Password Reset Email on SoundCloud

How can users recognize and avoid phishing attempts that might mimic legitimate password reset emails?

If you receive a password reset email that you didn’t request, the safest course of action is to ignore it. This could be a phishing attempt. Remember, no one can reset your SoundCloud password without access to your email account. If you're unsure whether the email is legitimate, do not click on any links or provide any information. Instead, manually navigate to the SoundCloud website and check your account settings.

How can users enhance security by enabling two-factor authentication for both SoundCloud and email accounts?

While the article doesn’t specifically mention two-factor authentication, enhancing your security is essential. To increase security, consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on both your SoundCloud and email accounts. This adds an extra layer of protection, making it much harder for unauthorized users to gain access. For SoundCloud, check your account settings for 2FA options via a computer. For your personal email, refer to your provider’s instructions on setting up 2FA. Additionally, resetting your passwords for both SoundCloud and your email, especially if you suspect any suspicious activity, is recommended.
