Use Strong and Unique Passwords

Use a strong password that is difficult for others to guess. Avoid using easily identifiable information such as your name, birthday, phone number, or commonly used words.

A strong password should ideally:

• Be unique to your email account

• Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols

• Be sufficiently long

• Not be reused across multiple websites

Consider using a reputable password manager to create and securely store unique passwords.

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication

If your email provider offers multi-factor authentication (MFA), consider enabling it.

MFA adds an additional security step when signing in and can provide additional protection if someone obtains your password.

Use only the security and authentication options provided through your email provider's official website or application.

Keep Recovery Information Updated

Many email providers allow users to add recovery options, such as a recovery email address or phone number.

Review your account's security settings through the provider's official website and make sure your recovery information is current and controlled by you.

Never provide recovery codes or verification codes to another person.

Be Careful With Emails and Links

Phishing messages can attempt to persuade users to visit fraudulent websites or disclose sensitive information.

Before clicking a link in an unexpected email:

• Check the sender carefully

• Review the destination of the link

• Be cautious of urgent or threatening messages

• Avoid entering passwords after following an unexpected email link

• When in doubt, open your email provider's official website directly instead of using a link in the message

Protect Your Verification Codes

Verification codes and security codes should be treated as confidential information.

Do not share a one-time verification code with another person, even if someone claims to be from a company, security team, or technical-support department.

If you receive a code that you did not request, review your account security through your email provider's official security settings.

Review Account Activity

Many email services provide security pages where users can review recent sign-ins, connected devices, sessions, or other account activity.

Regularly reviewing this information can help you identify activity that you do not recognize.

If you notice suspicious activity, follow the security instructions provided by your email provider through its official website or application.

Keep Your Devices Secure

Email security also depends on the security of the devices you use.

Keep your operating system, browser, and security software updated. Avoid installing software from unknown sources and use screen locks or other device-security features where appropriate.

Avoid Untrusted Support Services

Be cautious of websites or individuals that request your email password, verification code, recovery code, or remote access to your device.

For account-specific security or recovery assistance, use the official support and account-security resources provided by your email provider.
