This page is used for configuring various security settings for your MDaemon Webmail account.
Login History
This area displays info about the last ten times you successfully signed in to your account. It lists the OS and browser used, the IP address from which you signed in, and the time you signed in.
Password Required
Enter your Current Password here whenever changing your password, setting up a Password Recovery Email, or setting up Two Factor Authentication.
Change Your Password
To change your password:
1.Enter your Current Password in the Required Password option above.
2.Enter a New Password under Change Your Password.
3.Enter the new password again in the Confirm New Password box.
4.Click Save on the toolbar above.
Passwords have some minimum security requirements. Therefore if you enter, for example, a short password with only lowercase letters, you will get an error message listing the password requirements so that you can enter another one.
Password Recovery
You can use this option to gain access to your account if you ever forget your password. To set up Password Recovery:
1.Enter your Current Password in the Required Password option above.
2.In the Recovery Email box, enter some other email address to which you have access, such as another personal or work email address.
3.Enter the same email address in the Confirm Recovery Email box.
4.Click Save on the toolbar above.
Once set, if you attempt to sign in to Webmail with an incorrect password a "forgot password?" link will appear. This link takes you to a page that asks you to confirm your password recovery email address. If you enter the correct email address, an email message will be sent with a link to a page where you can change your password.
Two Factor Authentication
Two Factor Authentication (i.e. 2-Step Verification) can make your account more secure by requiring you to enter a verification code whenever you sign in to Webmail, in addition to entering your normal email address and password. The verification code constantly changes and is obtained at the time of sign-in from the Google Authenticator app installed on your phone or device. This means that even if someone manages to obtain your password they will still not be able to sign in to your Webmail account, because they will be unable to get the verificaiton code. To set up Two Factor Authentication:
1.Install the Google Authenticator app, or a Google Authenticator compatible app, on your phone or device.
2.Sign in to Webmail using https:// in the browser rather than http://.
3.Go to the Options » Security page, and enter your Current Password under the Password Required option.
4.Click Setup Two Factor Authentication.
5.In your authenticator app, choose Set up account and then Scan a barcode, and scan the barcode on the page.
6.If you cannot scan the barcode, click Show Secret and then enter the secret code and your email address into the app.
7.Enter the Verification Code that appears in your app, and click Verify Pairing.
