How to Secure a TikTok:

Before starting, make sure to secure the account on a mobile device, as the web version provides limited options.

First, check for an external recovery method by selecting the question mark on the login page, choosing "recover your account," and entering the username. If options like Google appear instead of an email or phone number, the account may be linked externally and susceptible to recovery by others.

Check for Duplicate Usernames
Search for the username in TikTok's search bar. If there are multiple accounts with the same username listed close together, the deal might not be secure.

Ask the Seller to Update the Email/Phone to Yours
Go to the profile, click the three bars, then Settings and Privacy > Manage Account > Email / Number. Adding your phone number is recommended for added security.

Reset the Password Using Your Email
Log in and change the password to something new after securing the account.

Remove Active Sessions
Navigate to Settings and Privacy > Security and Login > Manage Devices, and remove any devices that aren’t yours. This is essential, as TikTok may not log other sessions out automatically after a password change.

Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
Just below the Manage Devices section, activate 2-step verification to complete securing your account.

Additional Tips
