Recovery steps

The recovery byline organizes the next steps after a missing phone, a compromised inbox or a suspicious payment, with attention to urgency and useful records.

A calm response plan: handle the immediate exposure, use the provider's official process, keep a short record and revisit the remaining settings. Reporting options are identified by country or service.
