Fortifying Your Jefferson Email Security
- 🔒 Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): This adds a crucial second layer of verification to your login, significantly enhancing your account's protection.
- 🔒 Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Create complex passwords that are difficult to guess and avoid reusing them across different services.
- 🔒 Be Wary of Phishing Attempts: Always check the sender and content of emails for suspicious links or requests for personal information. Jefferson will never ask for your password via email.
- 🔒 Log Out After Use: Especially on shared or public computers, always log out of your JeffMail session.
- 🔒 Keep Software Updated: Ensure your browser and operating system are current to benefit from the latest security patches.
- 🔒 Understand Worker and Student Account Access: If you have both student and worker accounts, use separate browsers or a browser's 'private' mode for simultaneous access to avoid conflicts. Do not attempt to sign in from consumer email portals like Hotmail.com or Outlook.com.
