How To Protect Your Google AdSense Account From Hackers

                Having an active Adsense account can be very important for webmaster. Often the Adsense earnings contribute a large percentage to the overall income of a website. However, a Jealous Person with some criminal energy could ruin everything for you by hacking your Adsense account or by getting it banned. OK Now Let's go to learn how to protect yourself ! Basically, There are two types of danger for your Adsense account:

• Someone gets direct access to your Google account.
• Someone uses your ad Code to get your Adsense account banned.

Fortunately, It's quite easy to increase the security of your Adsense Account:

1. Change Password Account
               We all don't want that strangers have access to our Adsense account. To make it hard for hackers trying to get access it's necessary to choose a password that is hard to brute-force and only used for Adsense. A Strong Password have to sach as :

• Password Length:  from 8 to 16 character 
• Include symbols,Number
• Include Lowercase and Uppercase Characters:
• Exclude Similar and Ambiguous Characters
• Doesn't contain your username, Real name, or Company name
• Doesn't put your date of birth or not given to other people

To do that, Login to your Google account and click on your profile picture and then Choose Account --> Security --> Change Password. Type in your current and the new password . Hit "Change Password"

2. Change Phone Notification
            You want to be notified whenever unusual activities occur in your account. The faster you can react in a case of someone trying to hijackers your account, The smaller will the damage caused be. Google offers a phone notification whenever something unusual happens in your account .  Click on the Security tab in your Google account and choose "Add a Phone Number" Press “Add Phone” on the next screen. Choose your country and type in the number of your mobile phone. Press “Save” at the bottom of the page.

3. Setup Message Alert of Phone
            Go back to the Security tab and click “Edit”. Click “Verify” next to your phone number. Click “Send verification code”. You will get a code sent via SMS that you have to put into the corresponding field. After successful verification, make sure “On password change” and “For suspicious activity” are written next to “Send phone alerts”. If this is not the case, you have to press Edit again and activate the checkbox for “Suspicious attempt to access account” and “Password change”.

4. Change Gmail Recovery
            If you have a recovery email address from another provider in your Google account, you have to secure this email account in the same way. Otherwise a hacker can crack this email account and then use the “I forgot my password” option to get access to AdSense. He would still need to know the answer to your secret question, however, this might be possible to find out in another way.

5. Setup 2-Step Verification
             Activating 2-step verification your password won’t be enough to log in. Even if a hacker finds out your password he won’t be able to cause any harm. Despite typing in your password, you’ll need to type in a verification code that you can get via SMS, a voice call or a mobile app. It would be a bit too stressful for me to follow this procedure every time. Therefore, I set it up to only require a code verification when someone logs into my AdSense account from another computer.

6. Add another Gmail into Adsense Account As Admin

• Sign in to your AdSense Account
• Click the Gear icon and select Settings
• In the Sidebar, click Access and authorization and select User management
• In the field provided, enter the emails address of the user you want to share your account with, the click Invite
• The Users is added to the "users with sign-in access" table with the status "Pending"
