Name one person you trust
Name somebody who can help you back in, without giving them anything.
Most big accounts let you name one person who can confirm it is you when you are locked out.
They see nothing and spend nothing. They vouch for you, and only when asked.
Key points
- A recovery contact is one person who can confirm it is you
- They see nothing, and you can change them any day
What to remember
- A recovery contact reads nothing and holds nothing.
- They vouch for you. They never hold a key.
