What other security features can I enable for my Outlook account?

Create a Strong Password:

• Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to create a strong, unique password. Avoid using easily guessable information like your name or birthdate.

Enable Email Encryption:

• Encrypt your emails to protect sensitive information. This ensures that only the intended recipient can read the T-Mail email.

Set Up Safe and Blocked Senders Lists:

• Add trusted contacts to your safe senders list to ensure their emails go directly to your inbox. Conversely, add suspicious contacts to your blocked senders list to send their emails to the junk folder.

Use the Trusted Sender Icon:

• Look for the trusted sender icon on new messages to verify the sender’s authenticity. This helps you avoid phishing scams.

Monitor Account Activity:

• Regularly check your account activity for any suspicious sign-ins or changes. You can view recent activity in your account settings.

Update Security Information:

• Keep your security information, such as recovery email and phone number, up to date. This helps you recover your account if you ever lose access.

Enable Anti-Phishing and Anti-Spam Filters:

• Outlook has built-in filters to protect against phishing and spam emails. Ensure these filters are enabled and regularly updated.

Use Modern Authentication:

• Modern authentication methods provide an additional layer of security by requiring more than just a username and password to access your account.
