Set up your email account
Now it's time to set up your own Gmail account by applying the methods that you have learnt.
Tips to remember:
- Think
of an e-mail address that it easy to remember and that you can identify with eg. If
your name is Jane Banda and your birthday is on 4 March 1978, you could make
your e-mail address:
- Choose
a password that you can remember easily, but nobody else will be able to guess.
A good password has letters, numbers and special characters in it such as an
exclamation mark (!) Or a question mark (?).
- An
example of bad passwords for Jane are:
“password” or “janebanda”
- An
example of good passwords for Jane are: “Library?1978” or
“Mandela0403!”
- Remember:
an email address includes a unique name that you choose followed by “@” and
then the internet service you are using. So if you are using
a Gmail account, it could be JoyceBanda1@gmail.com, but
if you are using Yahoo, it will be JoyceBanda1@yahoo.com.
