Account Security & Safety

Learn how to protect your Sea of Thieves account from unauthorized access. This guide covers essential security tips and best practices to keep your pirate adventures safe.

Protecting your Sea of Thieves account is crucial to ensuring your pirate adventures remain uninterrupted and your hard-earned treasures are secure. This guide provides essential information on account security and safety measures.

Account Security & Safety:

• Use a Strong, Unique Password: Avoid using easily guessable passwords or reusing passwords from other online services. A strong password should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): If available for your Microsoft account (which is used to log into Sea of Thieves), enable 2FA. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone or authenticator app in addition to your password.
• Be Wary of Phishing Attempts: Never share your account credentials (username, password, security questions) with anyone, even if they claim to be from Rare or Microsoft support. Official communications will never ask for this information.
• Secure Your Email Account: The email account linked to your Sea of Thieves account is vital. Ensure it is also secured with a strong password and 2FA.
• Avoid Suspicious Links and Downloads: Do not click on links or download files from untrusted sources, as they may contain malware designed to steal your account information.
• Regularly Review Account Activity: Periodically check your Microsoft account for any suspicious login activity or changes.
• Report Suspicious Activity: If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact Microsoft support immediately and change your password.
