Account & Security

Protecting your domains

Use account security, transfer protection and verification to protect domain control.

Why domain security matters

A compromised domain can redirect a website or interfere with services that rely on the domain. Protecting domain control is therefore as important as protecting the website itself.

Protection layers

  • A secure Kiyo password
  • Two-factor authentication
  • A compatible security key
  • Transfer protection where the domain supports it
  • Additional verification for sensitive changes
  • Current contact information
  • Renewal protection and a valid payment method

Sensitive domain actions

A transfer, nameserver change, ownership or contact change, or removal of protection can require you to re-authenticate or confirm identity.

What Kiyo handles

Kiyo keeps transfer protection active where applicable, separates advanced domain controls from normal management and adds verification to high-risk actions. Security status and important renewal information remain visible in the domain area.

What you must do

  • Protect the Kiyo and email accounts
  • Keep recovery information current
  • Do not approve unexpected transfer or sign-in requests
  • Review domain alerts promptly
  • Ask for human support when ownership or control is uncertain

An unexpected domain change is urgent
