Ensuring your MLBB account is secure is paramount. Why? Let us explain.

A big part of what makes Mobile Legends: Bang Bang great is its progression system. It takes hundreds or even thousands of matches to reach the top of the rankings.

It also has unique in-game skins and cosmetics. Recalls and spawn effects are valued by players in the game, as they cost real money to purchase.

But what if all that hard work goes down the drain because of hackers and scammers who have infiltrated your account?

Add secondary verification to your account

Adding another layer of protection to your account in the form of secondary verification further protects it from malicious threats.

This will allow you to add a separate password for activities such as gifting and connecting.

How to hide your match history in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

To check how protected your account is, go to account settings and check the account security rating on the right side of the screen.
