Service-specific passwords to strengthen your account

Mailfence allows you to generate and use service-specific passwords when connecting your account in email clients like Outlook or Thunderbird, even if you do not enable 2FA. We recommend you to do so.

Please follow these steps :

Go to your account Settings -> Account -> Security: Services access (section) -> click on ‘Generate a specific password for this service’.

Create specific password in your account — Settings -> Account -> Security: Services access (section) -> click on ‘Generate a specific password for this service’

Click on ‘Generate’.

Make sure to use/copy the generated password to harden your Mailfence account — Make sure to use/copy the generated password.
**It will NOT be displayed again**.

From this point onward, the selected service WILL NOT be accessible using the account (web) password.

You can stop using a service specific password at any time by clicking on ‘Revoke’ [Settings -> Account -> Security: Services access (section)].

You can revoke your service passwords — Settings -> Account -> Security: Services access (section) -> Revoke
