For Android users, the feature may not be available in all regions, but SMS Organizer from Microsoft can be used as an alternative. On iOS, the feature is available in iOS 17 or later. By enabling the auto-delete OTP feature in Messages and Mail settings, the texts or emails containing passcodes will be automatically deleted after use. The article also suggests other precautions to enhance passcode security, such as securing the lock screen, blocking access to passcode messages on other devices or apps, and considering the use of authenticator apps for two-step verification.

Google to Delete Inactive Accounts in 2023.

Google will start deleting inactive accounts that have not been used for at least two years to prevent security risks. The company plans to send out multiple warning notifications to users and conduct the purge of inactive accounts in phases starting from December. Older accounts are more likely to rely on recycled passwords and less likely to employ up-to-date security measures like two-step-verification, making them vulnerable to issues like phishing, hacking, and spam. To save your account, all you need to do is log in to your Google account or any Google service.
