- Google's backup-code availability, invalidation rules and Advanced Protection differences.
- Apple's recovery waiting process, recovery-key consequences and Find My removal guidance.
- Microsoft's two-step verification recovery limits and code storage instructions.
- FTC and CISA guidance still supports the relevant checklist steps.
The editorial target is a weekly source review. This date records the completed review, not a promise that every page has changed. Updates should follow a substantive source check; dates must not advance automatically.
