How can the security of access to my email inbox be increased?

We recommend using two-factor authentication. It protects you through the use of a secure password plus additional two-factor authentication against unauthorized access.

Furthermore, instead of the email address, you can set an "individual username" for login. This means no login to your email account can occur via the email address and your password anymore. Would you like to change your "login" now?
