What to gather before you begin recovery — identity documents, prior sign-in details, and platform-specific evidence.

When an account is compromised or you have lost access, most platforms require proof that you are the legitimate owner. Gather the following before you start: - Government-issued ID (matching the name on the account) - The email or phone originally used at sign-up - Prior device details, purchase receipts, or old sign-in locations - Any subscription or billing records Submit these through the platform's official recovery flow. Never share credentials with third parties who claim they can recover the account by other means.
