Account Settings FAQ

How do I get a password?
There are 2 methods. First, your email provider uses existing authentication, so that the password remains the same as your existing email account; or alternatively, an email provider may supply a new, temporary, password that can be changed after your first log in to the Message Center.

In some cases, a new temporary password is provided when the user account is activated. The user is requested to change this temporary password after first log in.

Can I change my password?
If the email provider utilizes its authentication mechanism for Message Center login, then the password must be changed through their user support system. However, if Postini issued you a password, password changes can be initiated online from within the Message Center by clicking "Account Settings".

What if I can't log in to my Message Center?
You should first try your email account password. If the password fails, the login page will display instructions for how to retrieve a password based on the authentication method used for the email provider.
