Securing Your Ackaia ID After Suspected Unauthorized Access

If you believe another person may have accessed your Ackaia ID, treat the account as potentially compromised and secure it as soon as possible.

Examples include an unexpected sign-in, an authentication request you did not initiate, an unfamiliar connected application, an account change you did not make, or credentials that may have been exposed.

1. Use a device you trust

Whenever possible, perform account recovery and security changes from a device and browser you control.

If you believe the device itself is compromised, secure or replace that device before relying on it for sensitive account changes.

2. Change exposed credentials

If you can still access your Ackaia ID and believe the password may be known to someone else, replace it with a new, unique password.

Do not reuse a password that is also used for your email account or another service.

If you cannot sign in because the credentials were changed, start the Ackaia ID recovery process instead.

3. Enable or verify MFA

Open the Ackaia ID Security page:

https://id.ackaia.com/account/security

Scroll to Two-step verification and confirm that MFA is enabled and controlled by you.

If MFA is not enabled, follow the setup flow to enable it.

If MFA was unexpectedly disabled or altered, mention this when reporting the compromise to Ackaia Support.

4. Review Connected apps

Open:

https://id.ackaia.com/account/apps

Review the applications connected to your Ackaia ID and revoke access for:

5. Review account and session security

Review any available account-security or session information for activity you do not recognize.

Ackaia can revoke sessions or apply additional account-security controls when reasonably necessary to protect an account. If you cannot terminate an unsafe session yourself, report the suspected compromise promptly.

6. Secure the email account connected to Ackaia ID

If an attacker controls the email or recovery account associated with your Ackaia ID, changing only the Ackaia ID password may not be sufficient.

Secure the associated email account, including its password, MFA, active sessions, forwarding rules, recovery information, and connected applications as applicable.

7. Contact Ackaia if unauthorized access is suspected

Report the incident promptly and include:

Never include passwords, MFA codes, recovery codes, private keys, or other authentication secrets.

8. Review affected products

After securing the Ackaia ID itself, review Ackaia products that were accessible through the account.

Depending on the product, check for unexpected changes to:

For encrypted products, also protect any local cryptographic material and trusted devices independently of the Ackaia ID account.
