Protect your account and report unauthorized access

You must keep account details accurate and are responsible for account activity. Snap recommends a strong unique password and two-factor authentication rather than making those specific measures mandatory here. Contact Support immediately if you think someone gained access.

Supporting quotations

You are responsible for any activity that occurs in your account. So it’s important that you keep your account secure. One way to help keep your account secure is to select a strong password that you don’t use for any other account and to enable two-factor authentication. If you think that someone has gained access to your account, please immediately reach out to [Support](https://help.snapchat.com/hc/articles/7012305621908?lang=en-US). Any software that we provide to you may automatically download and install upgrades, updates, or other new features. You may be able to adjust these automatic downloads through your device’s settings. You agree not to create any account if we have previously removed or banned you or your account from any of our Services, unless we consent otherwise.
