It is important to protect your Envato account from unauthorized access. Sometimes, strangers may try to trick you into sharing your account credentials by pretending to be Envato. These types of attempts are commonly referred to as "phishing."

What are phishing emails and how can I spot them?
Phishing emails often look like they're from Envato, but they usually contain suspicious details. They might include a link that prompts you to log in on a fake website. The goal is to steal your username and password.

What are phishing websites and how can I spot them?
Phishing sites are fake websites that look very similar to the real ones. They often have a small typo in the domain name. If you try to log in on these sites, your credentials may be compromised.
Our official login page uses the domain "envato.com" in the address bar.

How can I protect myself from phishing?
You can protect yourself from phishing by remembering these key points:
- Envato staff will never ask you for your password. Never give your password to anyone.
- Never click a link in an email unless you requested it yourself (e.g., for a password reset). Instead, use a bookmark or type the address yourself.
- Always check the website address carefully. Only enter your credentials on https://account.envato.com.
- Always check that the sender's email address ends with @envato.com.
- Envato will never contact you about deactivating your account unless you initiated the request.
- We will never ask you to confirm your account unless you have just signed up.
- Report any suspicious emails or websites to the Envato Customer Success Team.
- Keep your operating system, web browser, and anti-virus software up-to-date.
