The user's access to the personal page is carried out only after filling out a special form indicating the username and password, with the help of which the site is entered. For the convenience of customers, most of the services offer an autosave function for accounts. When other users have access to the computer, it is better to refuse this service.
Necessary
- - registration by email or on any website;
- - access to the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
The function of automatically saving credentials when entering an e-mail or the site on which the user is registered greatly simplifies the work on the Internet. By entering your password and login once, you can no longer waste time writing them every time you visit your page. Next time you just need to connect to the Internet and click on the saved site link. However, this handy feature does not always play a positive role. If several people work on the same computer, it is better to refuse it. Otherwise, your personal information, correspondence may be available to other users.
Step 2
To prevent this from happening, it is best to secure your account by disabling the save password feature. This is quite simple to do. You can exclude outsiders' access to e-mail without even logging into e-mail. For this, it is enough to leave the "Save password" window blank on the main page of your mail service in the window with your login and password. Or visit the "Settings" menu in your inbox. Go to the "Security" section and set the required parameters. The prohibition to save the login is one of them.
Step 3
On social media, you can also turn off remembering accounts. You can do this using your browser. As a rule, all Internet browsers, when entering a password from mail or personal account on the site, offer to save it. Just refuse this opportunity and you can be sure about the safety of your data.
Step 4
Another option for disabling password saving is to go to the main page of the site, where you need to enter accounts to log in, fill in the login and password fields, but leave the line labeled “Remember”, “Save” or “Save password” unchecked. Depending on the sites, the name of this item may change, but it has the same essence. If this field is left blank, your data will not be saved. This means that only you can enter your page, provided that you enter the correct password.
