Protecting the security of your mailbox

Because My CallPilot is a web-based product, it is important to take precautions to
protect the security of your mailbox.

„

If your administrator has enabled SSL encryption, you can use the Secure Login
feature for greater security. See To log in using secure login, on page 14.

„

When you have finished using My CallPilot, make sure that you log out. If you go
to a web site outside of My CallPilot without logging out, CallPilot does not log out
immediately. This can make your CallPilot information vulnerable to hackers. If
you want to visit a web site without exiting My CallPilot, use a separate browser
window to view the other site.

„

You can set CallPilot to log out automatically after a short time, such as 5 or 10
minutes. See Setting messaging preferences, on page 57.

„

If you use a public or shared workstation, avoid using the Remember Password
option when you log in to My CallPilot. If this option is selected, others can
access your CallPilot mailbox.

„

If you use a public or shared workstation, you should empty the browser cache
after a CallPilot session. For information about your browser cache, see your
browser online Help.
