E-mail Authentication for Website Login

E-mail authentication helps keep your account safe. When you sign up on a website, you'll get a
verification e-mail. You must click the link or enter a code to confirm your e-mail. This proves that you
own the e-mail. Some websites also send a code to your e-mail or phone for extra security, making sure
only you can log in.

UNDERSTANDING E-MAIL PROTOCOLS

E-mail protocols are rules that help send and receive e-mails. Here are three common ones:

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): This is the system that helps send e-mails to other people.
It moves your e-mail from your computer to the recipient's e-mail server.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3): POP3 helps you download e-mails from the e-mail server
to your computer, so you can read them offline. Once downloaded, the e-mails are usually deleted
from the server.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): IMAP lets you read your e-mails on multiple devices.
Unlike POP3, it keeps your e-mails on the server, so you can access them from your phone, tablet, or
computer.
