Emails

If you are using a shared computer, or if someone has access to your computer, they may be able to read your incoming and outgoing mail. To ensure your account is secure, always log out after use and choose a password that others won’t be able to guess. On your mobile, use facial recognition, which is a hard-to-break layer of security, along with a secure pin code. You may wish to use the internet to access your emails, instead of downloading an email app, just remember to log out after every use.
