How do I know if my account is compromised?

Here are some common indicators that an account may have been compromised.

You think your account login information has been stolen.
You see an increase of personalized videos and you believe you didn’t create them.
When you attempt to log in, you see an error message that says the account does not exist.
You received an unexpected email from Pirsonal staff. This may include forgot username emails or password reset emails you didn’t request.

False alarms

It’s possible that a Pirsonal customer with a similar username may request a password change and mistakenly type in your username. Don’t worry! They won’t be able to change your password or view your account. Only you will receive the password reset request email.

If you can’t log in to your account, double-check that you’re typing in the correct username and password. It’s possible that if multiple users on the account share login credentials, another user might have changed the username, password, or both. Check with your account users to see if they’ve changed any account settings recently.

Remember templates can also be deactivated. If you notice that one of your personalized videos template has been compromised and it is not a security issue but an automation issue, please deactivate your template.
