; Why have I received this message?

: All administrators are receiving it.

; What prompted you to send this message?

: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]]. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.

; What do I need to do?

: Only to follow the instructions in this message.

:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).

:# Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).

:# Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.

; How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?

: You can find out more about 2FA at [[m:2FA]].
