What this means for you

The updated help menu reorganizes account recovery options available to users. The option 'I forgot my password' was removed and replaced with 'Recover my account', 'Someone using my account', and 'Check what was accessed'. These options likely provide pathways to the same account recovery and security features, but the specific framing and workflow may differ. Users experiencing account access issues should use the new menu options to locate account recovery and security tools.
