Day 3 · Taking an account back

Take It Back

You got back in. Is the attacker really out?

Three made-up accounts, each just taken back. Fix what the attacker left in each binder, keep what's really yours, then check your changes.

3 accounts · No timer · You decide when to check

From the lesson: a list of where you're signed in. This phone, Laptop, Tablet and an Unrecognized device, each with Sign out, and a Sign out everywhere button.

Day 3 · The lesson and this game

Take the account back, then test it.

In the lesson, you learned the order: get back in, change the password, then fix the recovery phone and email. Changing the password may not end a session that's already open. A forwarding rule keeps working after a password change.

Here, each binder is an account someone took. Turn to each tab, fix what the attacker left and keep what's really yours. Then check your changes to see if any way in is still open.

How to play

1Read what you know.

The inside cover tells you what's really yours, or the person's you're helping.

2Fix each tab.

Keep, remove, sign out or turn off. Not everything in the binder is the attacker's.

3Check your changes.

See which ways in are closed. Go back and fix any that are still open.

Every person, account, address and place here is made up. If one of your own accounts is ever taken, work through these steps with a parent or guardian.
