If You Suspect There is Unauthorized Access to Your Account

 

Login Activity

There is no option to review login activity to your TD Canada Trust online banking account. If you suspect someone has logged in to your account without your consent, you can change your TD Canada Trust online banking password under Changing Passwords.

 

Changing Passwords

If your former/current partner is logged into your TD Canada Trust Banking account, changing your password can log them out of the account on their device. You will need to know your current password to change to a new password. If you do not know your current password, refer to Account Recovery.


Safety Tip: If your former/current partner has access to the email that is connected to your own TD account, an email will be sent to the connected email account stating that your account has changed passwords. You may want to consult with a support worker as it could notify your former/current partner and potentially increase your risk to violence. To make a secure password, refer to How to Create and Maintain Strong Passwords.

To change your password on TD’s EasyWeb and mobile app if you are already logged in

  1. In your device, open TD’s EasyWeb site.
  2. At the top, click your account name.
  3. Click Profile & Settings.
  4. Click Password & Security.
  5. Beneath the ‘Password’ option, click the edit icon (i.e., pencil).
  6. Follow the prompts.

Account Recovery

Account recovery is a way to access your account through either your email or phone number when you have been locked out. If your former/current partner has access to the email or phone number connected to your account, account recovery will notify them. If you aren’t sure which email/phone number is secure, it may be safer to create a new account using a different email/phone number that only you have access to.

If your former/current partner has access to your email or your phone number’s messages, a code will be sent to those accounts in order to give you recovery access back to your account. It will notify them that your TD Canada Trust online banking account is requesting a verification code. Similarly, changing your account password will also notify the connected email which can alert your former/current partner of these changes if they have access to the email that is connected to your account.

To recover your TD account when you are logged in, refer to Changing Passwords.


Safety Tip: Changing your account password will notify your former/current partner of these changes if they have access to the email that is connected to your TD Canada Trust online banking account.

In the TD app:

  1. In your device, open the TD app.

Safety Tip: When you click the “Continue” button, a code will be sent to the email or phone number that is connected to your TD Canada Trust online banking account. If your former/current partner has access to this email/phone number, they could be notified that you are requesting to change your TD account password which is why you are recommended to input a safe number/email/username. Once you change your password, it will also send an email to the connected email stating this change.


 

 

How to Secure Your Account from Your Former/Current Partner

If you currently have shared a bank account with your former or current partner, you can close the shared account and/or create a new separate account. This would also include removing identifying information, such as your email address, your phone number, or your name on the account. Your former/current partner may realize immediately or quickly if you make these changes. If you are concerned that this will increase any risks to your safety, we recommend that you consult with a support worker at your transition home or a support organization beforehand.

  3. Click/tap CONFIRM.
