=== Step-by-Step Instructions ===
Here’s how to effectively use the ActiveCampaign Security Checklist:

1. **Access the Checklist**: As mentioned in the previous section, go to '''Settings''' > '''Security''' to view the checklist.
  
2. **Review the Security Meter**: At the top of the checklist, you’ll find a security meter. This visual representation will indicate how secure your account currently is.

3. **Evaluate Security Measures**: The checklist will enumerate various security measures available to your account. 
   - If any security measures are marked '''green''', this means those aspects are appropriately configured, and no further actions are needed.
   - Conversely, if any measures are '''yellow''', it indicates areas that require attention. Instructions on how to complete these security measures will be provided directly in the checklist.

=== Configuration Options and Settings ===
The ActiveCampaign Security Checklist offers various configuration options for enhancing your account’s security. Here are some of the key elements to pay attention to:

- **Security Meter**: This gauge reflects the overall security level of your account.
- **Security Measures**: Each listed measure will indicate whether it’s in a '''green''' or '''yellow''' state, guiding you on what areas require action.

It is crucial to regularly monitor and respond to the indications provided in the security checklist to maintain optimal safety.
