All internet users, regardless of gender and age, are subject to many kinds of cyber threats, and social media and instant messaging platforms need to take proactive measures to safeguard their users. As a responsible company, imo has been taking consistent initiatives to protect its users over the years and offering effective features for empowering users' control in this significant regard. For example, "Login Protection" is very useful for users account security,  as in its essential protection, that enables the "2-Step Verification" and the "Trusted Device", also in its advanced protection, that allows "SIM Binding", all of these effective features could help users ensure their accounts can only be accessed by their trusted and authorised devices to log in. Moreover, when logging in to your imo account, remember to check the "Manage Device" often and to remove any suspicious device to secure your imo account or to deactivate the "Multi-Device" if there is no need for any other device to log in your imo account.
