-Dr. Lalit Kumar Setia
Learning is always good to attain success. Let's learn and practice new tricks to improve computer skills. Kindly share it to the maximum for the benefit of all:
*Setting of a Secure Password in eMail Management*
It's well known that hackers are active on the internet on most web pages. In order to safeguard your emails from hackers, you are supposed to set a password and keep it changed from time to time. Remember to adopt the following:
1. Setup A Longer Password
Make sure to create a password that's no shorter than 15 Characters
2. Don’t Use Dictionary Words in Password
Don't use passwords with common words. Those are easily cracked by cracking software. Examples: '123456', 'password123', etc.
3. Mix the alphabets, numbers, and symbols
If you want to create a strong password then mix it up. For example : LalitKumar => L@liTkUm1R
4. Don’t Use Same Passwords For Different Accounts
Most of us generally set the same password for new accounts we create on the web pages. Never do it. The password for each social media platform should be different and strong. And even change the passwords from time to time by adding or removing the alphabets numbers and symbols.
5. Using Two-Factor Authentication
Use two-step authentication for everything you use in order to defend yourself from hackers because it will enable the OTPs to receive on your mobile number and without confirmation, the email will not be opened.
Unsubscribe the sender
Most of the time, the inbox remains full just because we have
subscribed to any newsletter in past. Now it is not required and that is why we
don’t read it and the inbox is full with the unread emails of the sender. Generally,
it is required to find out the unsubscribe link button at the bottom of the
email and after clicking it, the link makes us go to the webpage and then
unsubscribe the sender.
But Gmail has a unique feature by which we can unsubscribe by
clicking the unsubscribe link button which is available on the right side of
the sender. Look at the following image:
In this email, theSkimm is a sender, sending updates from time to
time. Now if we press the ‘unsubscribe link’ provided on the right side of the email
‘dailyskimm@morning7.theskimm.com’ then the following popup will appear:
After clicking unsubscribe, the sender will automatically be
unsubscribed and no future email will appear in the inbox.
