Long before the appearance of social networks on the Internet, communication between people was provided by e-mail boxes. Today, the importance of their role has increased many times - we use them to confirm registration on websites, in payment systems, as well as in the same notorious social networks. It is impossible to underestimate the importance of the safety of your personal e-mail box and the need for the confidentiality of the information that is stored on it.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the site where you want to create a mailbox. A few recommendations: if you are going to use your mail for correspondence with citizens and organizations of other countries, it is better to create it on a domain with the name.com, but if you are going to use it at the local level, use the.ru domain.
Step 2
Go to the main page of the site that you have chosen for your mailbox and click on the registration button. A new window will open in front of you - the mailbox registration window.
Step 3
Enter your first and last name in the fields that open. If you are going to use your e-mail inbox for business correspondence, it is advisable to enter your real first and last name. Otherwise, if you value confidentiality more than publicity, use your nickname written twice.
Step 4
Take responsibility for choosing a login name (login). Again, it all very much depends on what you decide to use this e-mail box for, in case you are going to use it for a long time, choose your first and last name as a login, separated by either a dot or a dash.
Step 5
Choose a password that consists of letters and numbers. Choose it so that even a person who knows you well cannot guess it. This will allow you to prevent a possible attempt to hack your mail.
Step 6
The secret question should be simple enough for you, and only for you. A non-standard answer to the question is possible, which will be correct - this way you will confuse possible hackers.
Step 7
Indicate the contact e-mail box, if you have one. It will be used to notify you of a hacking attempt or if your account needs to be authenticated.
