Security is one of the primary factors to consider when you get into a new platform, especially in a case where your credit card would be installed.
A simple log-in to your account can be a huge risk to your finance, owing to the fact your credit card details (which is most likely affiliated to your bank account) is registered on the platform.
So it’s okay to ponder whether or not Onlyfans notify users when someone login to their account.

Does Onlyfans notify you if someone logs into your Account?
On a default setting, if someone logs into your Onlyfans account, you’ll get notified via the email address used for the OnlyFans account registration. However, there are some requirements that must be met, before this happens.
When it comes to platforms that run based on subscriptions, we always want to be sure of their security.
Generally, Onlyfans is a secured platform – to qualify this, it has been able to add a number of security features, such as allowing only 3D secured cards, operating on a paywall, and stopping search engines from crawling its contents.
However, there are times when things can go wrong and someone gets access to your account. How can you know?
If you have changed your password in the past or enabled two-step verification, you’ll get an email immediately someone logs into your account with another device.
This would only happen when the user logs in to your account with another device or browser which have no prior details of your Onlyfans Account.

In other words, if someone steals/uses your phone to log in to your Onlyfans account, you won’t get any notification, even at your email address.
Also, as in most cases, you must have changed your email address once before this feature automatically gets added to your account.
If however, you still want to strengthen your security, you can add the platform’s official two-step authentication.
OnlyFans has 3 two-step authentication features;
- Authenticator App
- Verification via SMS
- Verification via Face ID
For the future, to use any one of these verification features on your account, visit onlyfans>my profile>settings>Account> Two-step authentication to turn them on.
What are other ways to know that someone is logged into your Onlyfans account?
Other than getting notifications straight to your email, there are other ways you can get notified when someone logs into your Onlyfans account. These include:
- When you start seeing a number of subscriptions to creators which you never subscribed to.
- When you begin to notice unsolicited debits or charges on your bank account or credit cards.
- When you’re required to verify your Onlyfans account, before getting access.
- Your registered email address no longer works.
What happens when someone logs into your Onlyfans account?
Depending on the person, you can risk losing your account and funds from the bank account connected to your credit card, when someone logs into your Onlyfans account.
Unlike other social media platforms like Facebook, where your only worry when your account gets hacked is losing your contacts, Onlyfans is a bit complicated.
When someone gets access to your Onlyfans account without permission, there are 3 things they can do;
- Leverage the account for personal use – they harness the account lowkey for personal use. In this case, they can even keep using the account, alongside you.
- Make multiple Onlyfans subscriptions – since your credit card is connected, they could bypass it to make subscriptions to multiple creators.
- Get access to your credit card – Just like what happens on every other platform that integrates payment services, by logging into your Onlyfans account that is connected to your credit card, there is every tendency that they can gain access to your credit card details.
While the first two things that could happen are significant, the last one “Get access to your credit card” is the point of attention. In fact, that is the target of most scammers.
When a scammer gains access, the first they do is to check whether or not the user added a credit card to their account.
If yes, they find every means to scrape the card information from the Onlyfans account.
Although the way they do this is not fully known, there have been several reports of scammers repeatedly doing this.
For this reason, not many people find it okay to use their actual/personal credit card to make payments on their Onlyfans account.
