TikTok Strengthens User Account Security With Latest Security Examining Tool
JAKARTA User account security is important for TikTok so that the video distribution platform launches Security Checkup, a new tool to improve account security easily.
This tool was introduced only on Monday, March 17, 2025. TikTok says that Security Checkup comes in the form of a security dashboard that will direct users to strengthen their accounts. This tool is not difficult to access and has a clear view.
Thanks to Security Checkup, users can know what they need to do to keep the account safe. This dashboard will show what security features the user should fill in or the user activate.
If the recommended security feature has been filled in or activated, the user will see a green checkmark next to it. However, if the feature has not been activated, the user will see an exciting sign icon. Here are some features in Security Checkup.
- Your Login key is a feature provided to link phone numbers and email addresses. Both are needed for users to have a backup login method.
- Double Your Defense is a feature to enable 2 Step Verification. This feature is provided so that the user's account can have an extra layer of security when entering a foreign device.

- Monitor Your Device is a device checking feature on a regular basis. In this feature, users can see on which devices their accounts are used. If the device is unknown, the device can be deleted.
- Detection of Suspicious Activities quickly is a feature that can detect unusual account behavior. If there is no suspicious activity, users will see a statement 'No unusual activity in the last 30 days'.
- Free Yourself from Password with Password Key is a feature provided so that users can access accounts without passwords. This feature utilizes device-based biometric authentication such as Face ID or Touch Unlock.
Security Checkup has been launched to all users, including users in Indonesia. To access the dashboard, users only need to open the Settings and Privacy page, then open the Security and Permission menu. The dashboard can be found in it.
