Most people end up using a webmail account for their personal email. While Gmail, Yahoo!, and Outlook do what they can to prevent others from accessing your account, there are methods you can take in order to keep your inbox out of others’ fingers.

First, keep your password unique and secure. The more you use the same password on other third party sites, the more likely it’ll be found out. Next, set up a 2-step authentication. This will allow your email provider send you a text or voice mail with a passcode to confirm your identity if it’s in question. Next, make sure that your devices are secure. While your email might be tightly protected, it won’t make a difference if your phone or laptop are compromised. For more tips and further detail on how to protect your webmail, click here.
