1. This new Hotmail feature allows an alternative way to reset passwords and keeps the users safer from internet predators looking to hijack accounts. Now, users can register a cell phone number; a secret code can be sent to this number allowing the reset of a password. A trusted computer registered with Hotmail can also be used; hotmail will automatically allow that computer to reset a password. Verification methods are also a requirement, prevented hijackers from locking users out of their accounts. A help website is provided for any problems encountered.
ReplyDelete2. This feature reduces the risk of a user's Hotmail account being hacked and allows the user to securely change his or her password.
3. I think that this Hotmail change is definately a good idea, but I probably wouldn't make the switch to this method just because I haven't encountered any problems with my current password change process. If I ever was hacked, my view might change though.
1.) This new feature helps username owners not get hijacked so easily. Its more secure, and allows users to not get hijacked.
ReplyDelete2.) They came up with this feature because, to many people were getting there accounts hacked, and not to many people were happy with that.
3.) Yes it would be something I would use, because it sounds like a new secure software that is trusted. Its seems like people will not get there accounts hijacked.
If you forget your password or your account gets hijacked, instead of answering a security question to get it back it will be sent to your cell phone number that you put down. Or if you put a certain computer as a trusted one it will let you change the password on it. To help people be able to recover there password easier and also help prevent it from be hijacked. I would use it because i hate if my account gets hacked and i hate having to go to my e-mail account to recover the password.
ReplyDeleteThis new feature adds in extra security to keep out account hackers and if so let's the rightful owner get their account back. Microsoft came up with this new feature to keep hackers from getting into other profiles and to let the rightful owners get their account back easier. I think that this would be something I would use for extra safety.
ReplyDelete1. This new feature which is for password security makes your hotmail safer. Instead of having your forgotten password sent to your email you can have it sent to your phone. This makes hotmail safer and harder to hack.
ReplyDelete2. I think Microsoft came up with this for a few reasons. First, so that it’s harder for your account to get hacked. Second, if your account does get hacked, then it will be easier for you to get it back. Third, if a hacker tries to get onto your account they won’t be able to because it will block them and send you a text.
3. Yes, I think I would use this. My password would be safer and if I forgot it I could get it back easily. Also, I wouldn’t have to use security questions; I could just get a text.

1. The new Hotmail feature helps you with your email. It makes it harder for your email to be hijacked and so if/when it does you can’t be locked out. There is also a trusted sender shield icon that is verified and sends a one-time password to your cell phone.
ReplyDelete2. Microsoft added this feature so hijackers who have stolen passwords cannot lockout the rightful owners.
3. No, I wouldn’t use it because I don’t have hotmail and even if I did I wouldn’t use it because I don’t use my email often, and if I got locked out I would just make a new one.
1.This new feature is to make it harder for hackers to hack into your hotmail account, amnd easier for you to recover from it.
ReplyDelete2. I think microsoft came up with this because now-a-days so many people are having their accounts hacked into,and they wanted to come up with a new idea to prevent that.
3.Yes,i would use this. It's easier then answering security questions and you can save your login information in your cell phone.
1. This New feature allows the user of the email to connect their email to their computer, and mobile phone number. So they can send you a special code to your cell phone and be able to get in your email with it just in case you have forgotten your email password.
ReplyDelete2. Microsoft came up with this idea because a lot of people keep forgetting their email password questions. Also a lot more people are getting hacked so this adds a little more extra protection.
3. If I used hotmail which I don’t plan to, I would but I’m fine for now with my password security, it’s just one more thing for me to worry about, at the moment. I don’t think this is a bad idea if you have a lot of personal information on your email.
The new feature for the password make it harder for people to hack into your account on hotmail, it also makes it easier for you to retrieve it if so. They added this so it would be a lot harder for people to hijack accounts. I would use this if I had important things I had to save, but I don’t so I probably wouldn’t. I would use it if I did because then I would feel more safe with my information being on there.

ReplyDelete2.Microsoft made this because of too many account being stolen and hacked and so that they could protect people privacy better.
3.I do not think i would use this feature. I do think it is good and all but i have never had any accounts stolen from me so i do not think i need anymore protection from it because i know what to do and not to do with my passwords.
This new feature introduced by Microsoft makes it harder for hackers to hack accounts and easier for victims to recover their stolen or forgotten accounts. Microsoft came up with this feature probably to make more money and keep their customers happy and don’t want them to leave. The more people they have, the more money one will make. If I used the internet for e-mailing, then I would use this new feature because I feel more protected and safe

this new software microsoft has created, makes it much more difficult for hackers to try and access accounts. And on the upside it makes it easier for victims to recover their stolen information. Microsoft probably came up with this feature to make their customers more happy and to offer extra protection to there users. If i were to use my email more often i would definetly want this protection to make me feel safer on the internet.
ReplyDelete1. This new feature makes it harder for hijackers to acsess your account, but it also makes it easier for you to acsess your account. If you forget you password it sends it to a trusted phone number via text message.
ReplyDelete2. Microsoft came up with this idea because peoples accounts were getting hacked and people were forgetting their passwords.
3. I don't think I would use this feature because I'm good at remebering my passwords.
Microsofts security password is a new security feature to Hotmail today that is designed to make it harder for accounts to get broken in to and easier for victims to recover them if that had happened.Hotmail users have been able to answer a security question or have an e-mail sent to an alternate e-mail address when they need to get into their locked account, either because it was stolen or because they forgot the password.Now users can register a mobile phone number that a secret code can be sent so you can reset the password. I would use this microsoft feature because if I forget my password (which usually happens a lot)I can retrieve it or if somebody steals my account I can get it back.
