TikTok rolls out a Security Checkup tool to help protect your account

TikTok's new Security Checkup tool is designed to help users set up things like two-factor authentication and passkeys to keep their account safe.

The idea behind Security Checkup is to make it easy for you to do things like link a phone number and email address to make sure you have a backup login method, turn on two-factor authentication, set up a passkey and enable biometric login options such as facial recognition. In addition, you'll be able to see which devices are logged into your account, so you can revoke access for any that you don't recognize or no longer use. Handily, TikTok will flag any unusual behavior that it detects on your account and you can review any oddities here.
