Password Security Best Practices

Password Manager Usage

Why Use a Password Manager:

Two-factor authentication adds an essential second layer of security to your account.

Why Enable 2FA:

  • Enhanced Security: Protects against password theft

  • Compliance: Meets business security requirements

Emergency Password Recovery

When Normal Reset Fails:

Account Verification Required:

Business and Team Considerations

Shared Account Management

Team Access Best Practices:

  • Change shared passwords if they were known

  • Review and update integrations and API tokens

  • Audit recent activity for the departing user

When to Contact Support

  • Password reset emails not arriving

  • Suspected account compromise

  • 2FA issues preventing access

  • Business verification for password recovery

  • Questions about security best practices


Security Reminder: Your password is the first line of defense for your RevvedUp account. Use a strong, unique password, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor your account regularly for any suspicious activity.
