Page 4 - Account Security Lockdown
P. 4
Preface (READ FIRST!)
While this guide may often focus on e-mail accounts, all of the information
presented within this entire course can be applied across the board (and web) to
any account or website that supports ANY of the security features or topics
mentioned in the following pages.
If you really think about it, the basis of account creation (in most cases), links
back to your e-mail account in some way. It's like your social security number in
a way, but perhaps not AS extreme. It's something you often identify with and
use to verify yourself or communicate around the world.
So, again, while a lot of the focus in this course is on the e-mail account aspect of
account security, this knowledge is completely universal and not in any way
exclusive to JUST e-mail service providers or accounts.
It is just insinuated that the root of everything should be the security of your e-
mail, so the main goal is to keep that account as secure and safe guarded as
possible. And of course, amongst that, also being strict about the security of any
and all other accounts you create on the web.
Without further a due, let's get right into it...
