U-M Google Mail Security
We have recently been made aware of a vulnerability in Google Mail configurations which could allow someone access to your email, even if you have two-factor authentication set up.
Two-factor authentication remains the best protection for email, Wolverine Access, and other University web pages which require authentication. See our Duo two-factor information page for more information.
Note: If you use Apple Mail, Outlook, or Thunderbird you should NOT follow these instructions or you will be unable to access email from those clients.
| In order to prevent unauthorized access to your email account go to Settings in your Google email (Click on the 'Gear' icon at the top-right and select
Settings). |
|
Click on
Forwarding and POP/IMAP and disable both POP Download and IMAP Download.
*Note that if you do not see the option to disable POP, it is already disabled.
Click
Save Changes.
You are done.
