How to manage your password |
|
Every E-mail account has a password. When a new account is created, we provide you a temporary password and we advise you to change that to something private. That is important. We cannot view your private password, so you should write it down somewhere. If you forget it, we'll have to reset it for you. (See the grey box below.) You have, no doubt, heard that you should have a password that cannot easily be guessed. This is not an abstract concept. On the evening of October 24, 2013, outgoing mail service was disabled for every @princeton-ma.us mailbox. We were notified that spammers had compromised one of our @princeton-ma.us mailboxes and they used it to send out spam to other Internet users. Customer Service was able to quickly contact the owner of the mailbox in question and worked with him to create a new, strong password for his mailbox. The service interruption was, fortunately, only a few hours long. The lesson is that today's aggressive hackers can take down our whole E-mail system if just one individual is not careful about device security and password selection. Every user has a responsibility to use strong passwords and to maintain the security of their devices (computers, tablets, smartphones). Not to do so puts others at risk of losing their E-mail service. Go to

To change your password, you must first do it on the mail server:
If you use an E-mail client
(i.e., Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail, etc.) you must then change the
password
there as well.
Of course, you'll have to update your password on other devices (i.e.,
tablets, smartphones) you use to access your E-mail. Remember to make the change on the mail server first. | |
