AKO Email Password Protection
If you already have got an AKO webmail account, you know that in order to access your inbox you need to go through two layers of authentication. First, is your CAC information used together with a PIN, and then comes the traditional password. The AKO portal is an extremely safe and secure one, and only armed forces members can have access to registering for one such email address. However, just as with any other passwords, it cannot be stressed enough that you should keep in mind the online password best practices:
-the password that you use for your AKO email, should never be used elsewhere. Even if you believe it is easier to remember one single password than a dozen- you should make an effort and use separate passwords for the accounts that you own online.
-Never allow applications to save your passwords- this way, anyone who uses your computer, can have direct access to your email and other accounts.
-Always use difficult combinations- letters, numbers and signs where applicable. It is truly important to make everything possible to keep your personal information safe from intruders. Of course, such security problems are never an issue with Ako webmail, but it is advisable to use a separate password here too, which can be extremely difficult to guess.
One very good trick that will help you come up with the best password is this: The best passwords are the ones that are difficult to keep in mind even for you. Make sure that your AKO webmail platform gets such a hard password, and make sure you will never use this password for other sites, applications, etc.
