Say what a trusted contact does
Who can help you back into your own account when you are locked out.
A trusted contact, or recovery contact, is somebody who can help you back into your own account.
They never see inside it. A code appears on their phone and they read it to you.
Key points
- A trusted contact can help you back into your account
- They see nothing of yours, and you make the call
What to remember
- You call them. They never call you first.
- A recovery contact holds a key, not your account.
Try this
Ask one person whether they would be your recovery contact. Setting it up takes a minute.
