Keep Your Account Safe

Your CreativeBuzz account contains your creative work and business content. Here are essential tips to keep it secure.

Essential Security Steps

1

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

This is the single most effective security measure. Even if your password is compromised, 2FA keeps your account safe. Set up 2FA →

2

Use a Strong, Unique Password

Create a password that's at least 12 characters and unique to CreativeBuzz. Don't reuse passwords from other sites. Password tips →

3

Use a Password Manager

Password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, or LastPass generate and store unique passwords for every site. You only need to remember one master password.

Recognizing Security Threats

Phishing Attempts

Phishing emails try to trick you into revealing your password. Watch for:

Emails asking you to "verify" or "confirm" your account urgently
Links to sites that look like CreativeBuzz but have different URLs
Poor grammar, spelling errors, or suspicious sender addresses
Threats to close your account if you don't act immediately

When in Doubt

Never click links in suspicious emails. Instead, type creativebuzz.com directly into your browser to access your account.
