Recruitment portals par forgot password issues common hain, especially jab registration months pehle hua ho. Scam risk yahan high hota hai, kyunki fake “reset link” messages aur lookalike pages circulate karte hain. Safe rule simple hai: password reset sirf official portal ke login page se initiate karo, kisi forwarded link se nahi. Is post me aapko step-by-step safe recovery process, plus password hygiene tips milenge jisse future lockouts avoid ho sakein.
1. Safe Recovery Process
- Official portal ko manually open karein, login page se “Forgot Password” choose karein
- Registered email/mobile verify karke OTP/verification complete karein
- Reset complete hone ke baad fresh login karke status check karein
2. Scam Red Flags
- Reset link shortened URL me ho ya domain mismatch ho
- Page OTP ke saath extra info maange (UPI PIN/payment)
- Random WhatsApp “support” reset karne ka offer de
3. Password Hygiene
Unique password use karein aur password manager/secure notes me save rakhein. Same password multiple portals me reuse mat karein.
Cyber-cafe/shared PC par “Save password” prompt always deny karein, aur logout ke baad browser data clear karein.
