Protect your myGov account with a quick online security check

Published: 1 October 2025

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month. Take a few minutes to upgrade your security and stay safe online.

Protect yourself from scams and identity theft using the Security review feature in your myGov account.

Follow these steps to protect your myGov account:

  1. Sign in to myGov.
  2. You’ll find the Security review on your homepage .
  3. You’ll be guided to set up stronger sign in options like a passkey or Digital ID and turning off email and mobile number as additional usernames.

It’s the best way to keep your account, and your linked services , safe from unauthorised access.

Learn how you can protect your myGov account on the myGov website.
