Account Security and 2FA Reminder

Hi Creators,

To help protect your account and the security of confidential MHCP information, please take the following actions immediately:

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Your Meta Account

Securing your Meta account is just as important as securing your Discord. Here’s how to enable 2FA for your Meta account:

  1. Go to Meta Account Center and log in.
  2. Click on Password and Security.
  3. Select Two-factor authentication.
  4. Choose your preferred method (Authentication app, SMS, or Recovery codes) and follow the instructions.

If your Meta account is linked to Facebook or Instagram, you may need to enable 2FA on those accounts as well for full protection.

For more details, see the official Meta 2FA Help Article or your account’s security settings.

Stay Vigilant Against Phishing

Phishing is a common tactic used by attackers to steal your login credentials or personal information. Here’s how to protect yourself:

  1. Never click on suspicious links in DMs, emails, or Discord messages—even if they appear to come from someone you know or have friended.
  2. Double-check sender information before responding to requests for personal info or account details.
  3. Be wary of urgent or alarming messages that pressure you to act quickly or provide sensitive information.
  4. If in doubt, verify by contacting the sender through a separate, official channel.

If you receive a suspicious message or believe your Meta (Horizon) account may have been compromised, report it immediately

Why is this important?

  • A compromised account can put your personal information, your worlds, and sensitive MHCP program details at risk.
  • 2FA adds an extra layer of security, making it much harder for attackers to gain access, even if they have your password.

 

Thank you for helping keep you and our community safe!
