Another thing that almost all places (websites) out there support is the backup
email address. You should take the time to visit many of the websites and
networks that you frequently use and check to see if they have an emergency /
recovery email address feature. Or even if they have a feature to retrieve your
account via (mobile) phone number.
If it's an important account to you that contains or links to pertinent valuable
information, then make it a habit of routinely checking up on the account's health
and status. This can be as simple as logging in, checking past log-in activity (if
supported), and even changing your password regularly.
Keeping a close watch over accounts and above all, ensuring that your security
measures are the best they can be, will allow you to not only significantly prevent
the chance of a security threat, but also allow you to be prepared in the event
that something does happen.
