To prevent unauthorized logins, it's important to implement multiple security measures as outlined below.
Review your password
There has been an increase in unauthorized logins using e-mail addresses and passwords leaked from other services.
Because of this, we recommend deleting your password and switching to a more secure authentication method, such as a passkey.
If you prefer to continue using a password, we recommend using a password manager to generate and store a secure password.
We also encourage you to set up both two-factor authentication and a passkey, as described below.
You can change or delete your password from the URL below.

Enable two-factor authentication
When you enable two-factor authentication, you will be required to confirm your login information via two separate methods, which protects your account from unauthorized access by third parties.
You can enable two-factor authentication from the URL below.

Set a passkey
In addition to two-factor authentication, we strongly recommend setting up a passkey. A passkey strengthens your account security while making it easier to log in.

Strengthen the security of your registered e-mail address
If a third party gains access to the e-mail account you use for pixiv (e.g. Gmail, Outlook.com), they could potentially use it to compromise your pixiv account.
We recommend securing your e-mail account with two-factor authentication or a passkey where available.
To learn more, please refer to your e-mail provider.
