Tips & Warnings
When choosing a password, make sure it isn't something too simple that a lot of people who know you might guess. Make sure it is easy for only you to remember.
Make sure your login name and password are something easy to type, especially if you use this email frequently.
When filling out a security question, make sure you enter something that only you or those whom you trust greatly know. Entering something that many people know or could easily figure out only makes it easier for someone to hack in to your email account.
