5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE PROTONMAIL FOR YOUR EMAIL This is Part 1 of a two part series. Click here to to read Part 2: 5 Reasons why you should NOT use ProtonMail for your email.
You send an email to your spouse expressing your thoughts about last week’s visit to your relatives. You are not diplomatic in this email but rant about the drama that occurred over dinner because her uncle wouldn’t stop talking about politics. Or maybe you send a copy of your driver’s license to a potential employer so that they can run a background check on you. Can you think of an email that you’ve sent in the past that would cause you personal, professional, of financial harm if it was exposedto the world?
This is not a thought experiment. It’s an extremely real and urgent issue. In 2016 Yahoo reported that it’s servers had been breached and the account information of millions was potentially exposed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_data_breaches We live in a world where we not only constantly send sensitive information over the internet but we also keep all of that information permanently sitting online. All of the emails that you’ve ever sent are sitting in the sent folder of your Google or Yahoo or Outlook account and when those services are hacked (and it is a question of when, not if) it is not only your current emails that will be exposed but your entire history of emails. So what can a normal person do about this? Traditional encrypted email (the most popular of which is something called PGP) is too difficult for the average person to use and requires that both the email sender and receiver are using the same encrypted email system. The best solution comes from a Swiss company called ProtonMail. Founded by former physics scientists this company aims to provide a simple and easy to use service that encrypts your emails and protect you against the sort of breaches that have happened with Yahoo andother companies.
Here are the 5 best reasons why you should be using ProtonMail instead of Outlook, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or any other email service. 1. PROTONMAIL IS “DOUBLE ENCRYPTED” When you send a piece of information over the internet you run the risk of having an eavesdropper intercept that information and read it. To protect against this ProtonMail encrypts every single email that leaves your computer with something called TLS. TLS means that your email is encrypted going from your computer to ProtonMail and then is also encrypted to the destination as long as the destination supports TLS encryption. Modern email systems like Gmail and Outlook support TLS encryption. The problem with TLS is that this encryption uses a lock and key that is controlled by ProtonMail. So while your information will be safe from external eavesdroppers, ProtonMail can theoretically read that email if they wanted to. And that’s where the “double encryption” comes in. The second layer of encryption kicks in if you send an email to another person who is using ProtonMail. In this case the email is first encrypted using PGP and then is encrypted further using TLS. This creates two layers of encryption for your email. The PGP layer of encryption uses a lock and key that only you have, not even ProtonMail can read this email. When you send an email to another ProtonMail users you encrypt it using that user’s public key, and then only that user can read that email since the only thing that can open that email is their private key that only they know. The cool thing with ProtonMail is that this process of locking and opening the email happens completely automatically. 2. EMAIL IS STORED ENCRYPTED One of the best reasons to use ProtonMail is that your archive of previous emails (which can sometimes be years worth of emails) is stored using PGP encryption and can only be opened by you. When you go to mail.protonmail.com you’re asked to put in your password and the ProtonMail website decrypts your emails. Unlike Gmail the employees at ProtonMail have no way to read your email because it is stored in their data center in an encrypted lockbox. So if ProtonMail is hacked and data is exposed all the hackers will get is the encrypted lockbox but they will be unable to open that lockbox to actually read your emails. So if you have a saved email that looks like this:> Hello Tim,
>
> Thank you for those financial statements. You can go ahead and make > the deal for $30,000. This is confidential information so make sure > no one is told until the deal is finalized.>
> Regards,
>
> Steve
Then a hacker who manages to hack in and get your encrypted ProtonMail data will only see this: > —–BEGIN PGP MESSAGE—– > 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 > dlz52QERGV7xBJOx5VC1LTrl+6Z+jv9Zl2bTC+06txWSyeROJJZB7MsfzS+X3qGi > BZ1zpiYJAm2LXw== =4iwN —–END PGP MESSAGE—– Without your password it’s complete gibberish. This is why ProtonMail is so secure against hacking attempts. Even if ProtonMail is hacked the information that a hacker can steal is almost useless. 3. PROTONMAIL OFFERS TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION Just using ProtonMail with a strong password is quite secure. However to increase security further ProtonMail includes a feature called two factor authentication. If you turn on two factor authentication then when you enter your password ProtonMail will also send a code to your cell phone that you’ll have to enter after your password. This protects your account even if someone steals or guesses your password as they would need both your password and your cell phone in order to open your emails. It’s a very powerful security feature and if you do open a ProtonMail account I suggest that you turn it on. 4. PROTONMAIL DOES NOT SPY ON YOUR EMAILS OR USE THEM FOR ADVERTISING This is one of the biggest reasons why I started using ProtonMail. If you’re using Gmail or some other service then your email is being constantly scanned by Google and tracked. Here’s a quick eye-opener that will shock you: if you’re using Gmail there’s a page that you can open that will show you every purchase that you’ve ever made online. Google knows all of this about you because their system is constantly reading your emails and keeping records of everything that you’ve done online. Click on this link and see for yourself: https://myaccount.google.com/purchases ProtonMail makes its money not by collecting your data or selling access to you but by selling subscriptions. They offer professional and business subscriptions that people pay for. This is different from Google which tends to concentrate on offering free services in exchange for your permission to track you and collect data about you.5. IT’S FREE
All of this security is free! If you just need a basic account for personal email you can sign up without paying anything. Later if you decide that you need one of their extra features (such as using ProtonMail with your Outlook application) or more storage you can purchase one of the paid subscriptions. But I like the fact that you can try ProtonMail for free and it’s not a trial or limited product, it’s the real deal. However I want to provide a balanced look at ProtonMail and no service is perfect. That’s why you should also read Part 2 of this series: 5 Reasons why you should NOT use ProtonMail for your email HOW TO CHANGE YOUR GODADDY SUBSCRIPTION AND PLAN If you’re looking to upgrade or change your GoDaddy subscription plan for Office 365 for email or hosting or some other service just follow the instructions below. First you need to login to your GoDaddy user portal. You can do so by going to GoDaddy.com and clicking on Sign In in the upper right corner or by clicking on the following link: https://sso.godaddy.com/?realm=idp&path=%2Fproducts&app=account Then go to the product page and scroll down to the appropriate product. So, for example, if you wanted to change your Office 365 email service with GoDaddy you would scroll down to EMAIL & OFFICE and then click MANAGE ALL. Then go the following: * Find the email that you need to change and click on OPTIONS * Press SELECT and click on the subscription that you want to changeto
* Then click COMPLETE PURCHASE And that’s it! The change might need a little bit of time to propagate so be patient for at least half an hour or so. HOW TO AUTOMATICALLY BULK CONVERT MULTIPLE MP4 TO MP3 ON A MAC (AUTOMATED CONVERSION) If you have a lot of MP4 videos but you want to extract audio from these videos into MP3 files to listen to then it can be a tedious process to convert a lot of MP4s one by one. In order to convert multiple files very quickly I’ve written an script that can convert any MP4s in a folder (no matter how many) to MP3 files. You literally just have to put your MP4s into a folder, put my script into the same folder, and then double-click on the scriptand let it run!
Just follow these steps: STEP 1: INSTALL FFMPEG Follow these instructions to install the open source and free FFMPEG. https://github.com/fluent-ffmpeg/node-fluent-ffmpeg/wiki/Installing-ffmpeg-on-Mac-OS-X It’s a collection of libraries for audio and video that my scriptuses.
STEP 2: CREATE THE SCRIPT FILE * Open TEXTEDIT on your Mac * Paste in the following:> !/bin/bash
> echo Welcome to theFakeGeek.com awesome .mp4 to .mp3 conversion> script!
> cd “${0%/*}”> mkdir mp3s
> echo Now converting… sit back and relax > for f in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i “$f” -c:a libmp3lame > “mp3s/${f%.mp4}.mp3”; done > echo Done! Enjoy your mp3s! * Click on FORMAT and then MAKE PLAIN TEXT * Now click on FILE and then SAVE * Name the file MP4TOMP3CONVERT.COMMAND * Save the file inside of the folder with your MP4 videos Before you run the script be aware of the following: THIS SCRIPT AND INFORMATION AS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND I DO NOT GUARANTEE USE. YOU RUN THE SCRIPT AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU BACKUP YOUR VIDEOS AND DATA BEFORE RUNNING THE SCRIPT. And now just go to that folder and double click on MP4TOMP3CONVERT.COMMAND and your videos will be converted! SOLVED: CAN’T OPEN EMAIL IN OUTLOOK BECAUSE THERE IS A PADLOCKLOCKING THE EMAIL
If you see a padlock next to an email in Outlook and you cannot open the email then you have likely received an encrypted email that is secured using Office 365’s new encryption capabilities. Here’s howto open it.
If the email is in your inbox then you’ve likely been sent the email to your own email address. However please verify that it wasn’t forwarded to you from someone else. Only the original recipient can open the encrypted email. The cause of this issue is usually that your Office 365 was logged out of Outlook or another account was mistakingly signed in. To correct the problem please do the following:* Open Outlook
* Click on File
* Click on Office Account * On the left side of the screen under Account sign out of allaccounts.
* Then sign in using the account that the email was sent to. This account should also have an Office 365 license.* Close Outlook
* Re-open Outlook
* Open the email
And that’s it!
Another option if that doesn’t work is to try to open the email using the web app version of Outlook. You can do this by going tooutlook.office.com
HOW TO INSTALL AND TURN ON MICROSOFT OFFICE INSIDER In order to be the first to get the latest features for Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and more) you’ll want to become an Office Insider. People with Office Insider get new features before anyone does and fortunately it’s an easy process to enableInsider for Office.
Note: this article is for those who have an Office 365 Business subscription. If you have a Home subscription or any other type of subscription then this article is not for you. For Office 365 Home users simply open Word then click on File, then click on Account, and then click on the Office Insider button. If you have not installed Office yet then you can go down to Step 1 and begin the process to install the insider version of Office. However if you already have Office installed then you’ll need to uninstall Office first. Make sure that you backup your data and ensure that your emails and OneDrive data are backed up and synced to thecloud.
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE OFFICE DEPLOYMENT TOOL The Office Deployment Tool is a special way to install Office that will allow us to specify that we want to install the Insider version. Download the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117 STEP 2: RUN THE OFFICE DEPLOYMENT TOOL Run the Office Deployment Tool and follow the prompts to extract the files to a new folder on your desktop named “deploy”. STEP 3: OPEN THE CONFIGURATION-OFFICE365-X86.XML FILE IN THE“DEPLOY” FOLDER
Inside of the deploy folder right-click on configuration-Office365-x86.xml and open in Notepad. Or click Edit. STEP 4: EDIT THE XML FILE Inside of the xml file delete everything and instead paste thefollowing:
>
> >
>
>
You can change the 32 to a 64 if you need the 64-bit version of Office. However unless you have a compelling reason I recommend that you stay with 32-bit for compatibility reasons. And then save the xml file and close it. STEP 5: OPEN THE COMMAND PROMPT Click on the Start Menu in the lower left corner on the screen and search for “Command Prompt”. In the results right-click on Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator”. STEP 6: RUN THE INSTALL COMMAND In the Command Prompt we want to change the directory to where your deploy folder is located. Type the following: > cdRun the Command.
Next we will begin the Office install. Please run the followingcommand:
> setup.exe /configure configuration-Office365-x86.xml STEP 7: ACTIVATE AND RESTART When the Office install finishes open any Office application (such as Word). You’ll be prompted for your account username and password. Let Office activate. Then restart your computer. When your computer boots back up you’ll now be running the Insiderversion of Office!
SOLVED: “ACCOUNT ALREADY EXISTS” IN APPLE MAC MAIL I was trying to add a ProtonMail account to my Apple Mac desktop app and I received the error “Account Already Exists”. No matter how many times I tried to add the account the error kept on popping up. Weirdly enough this is an error that has to do with your iCloud account and not whatever account that you’re trying to add. Here is how to fix it: * Click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen * Click on System Preferences * Find iCloud and click on it * In the bottom left corner click on “Sign out” * Now go try to add your new email account again and it should addsuccessfully
* Go back to System Preferences and sign back in to iCloud Unfortunately this is the only way to resolve whatever hiccup or backlog that is causing the issue on your system. Fortunately it’s apretty solution.
Let me know if this fixed your issue below in the comments! SOLVED: HOW TO COPY/PASTE PASSWORD INTO ENCRYPTED FOLDER ON A MAC If you’ve created an encrypted folder using the Disk Utility on OS X and you’ve chosen a strong password then you’ve quickly realized that you can’t copy/paste into the password box. If you have a very long password then this makes entering the password each time very time consuming. Especially if you’re storing the password in a password manager. The solution is a simple Terminal command.* Open the Terminal
* Type in: HDIUTIL ATTACH (and don’t press enter yet!) * Then drag and drop the encrypted folder into the terminal * Then type -STDINPASS * So your entire command should look something like this: hdiutil attach /path/to/encryptedfolder -stdinpass* Now press enter
* You’ll be asked for your password and you can now paste it in This is the only way to paste your password for an encrypted folder on a Mac. And it’s only a couple of extra steps. You can also consider encrypted folders using a program like VeraCrypt that does allow for pasting passwords. HOW TO LOGIN TO STARBUCK’S WIFI Here is the easy fix to login to the Starbuck’s Wifi if you’re having trouble. This fix will help if you try to connect to Starbucks but can’t see the initial Wifi agreement screen. First I’d like you to click on “Starbucks Wifi” in the availableWifi networks.
Then:
* Open an incognito or private tab in your browser * How to open private tab in Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95464?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en * How to open private tab in Firefox:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history * How to open private tab in Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026200/microsoft-edge-browse-inprivate * Next go to neverssl.com * You should now bring up the login screen for Starbuck’s Wifi andbe able to connect
Why this works: the Wifi screen sometimes needs a non-encrypted webpage in order to be triggered. Neverssl.com is a webpage that always load without TLS/SSL and so it triggers the login screen. SOLVED: OUTLOOK KEEPS ASKING FOR PASSWORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN (OFFICE365)
Many readers have sent me this issue recently. But now I’ve found the permanent fix. Here’s the issue many people are having: Outlook was working fine for months or years and then suddenly it begins to ask for a password. The user will enter their password and submit it and then Outlook will just ask for the password again! It’s a very frustrating issue and some readers have spent weeks trying to fix it, sometimes spending hours on the phone with techsupport.
The problem is related to how Outlook authenticates with Microsoft’s Exchange Online servers. To fix the issue we’re going to remove the old password from your computer, remove the old license activation, and then modify Outlook so that it authenticates a different way. Then we’ll be able to log in. This entire process will take about half an hour to an hour depending on how tech savvy and familiar with the registry you are. STEP 1: CLOSE OUTLOOK AND ALL OFFICE APPLICATIONS In order to make the changes we must ensure that Outlook and al Office apps (that includes Word, Excel, etc…) are closed. STEP 2: REMOVE THE OLD BROKEN CREDENTIALS FROM WINDOWS * Open the Credential Manager from the Control Panel: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/4026814/windows-accessing-credential-manager * Click on WINDOWS CREDENTIALS * Remove all Credentials that include the following: Office, Outlook,ADAL, and MSTeams
* Close the Credential Manager STEP 3: REMOVE ALL OLD OFFICE LICENSES/ACTIVATIONS IMPORTANT: If you installed Office using a product key you must make sure that you have the product key saved somewhere because we’ll need to re-enter it. If you’ve purchased Office as a subscription and pay monthly/yearly then you don’t need a product key and just will need to enter your username and password in the last step. NOTE: This step is not always necessary but to make sure that we solve the problem in one go please do it anyway. * Run the Command Prompt as an Administrator (search for Command Prompt and then right-click on it and select “Run asAdministrator”)
* If you’ve installed the 64-bit version of Office then type in: CD C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE16 * If you’ve installed the 32-bit version of Office (most people) then type in: CD C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE16 * Display the current Office license by typing in: CSCRIPT OSPP.VBS/DSTATUS
* Note the five characters of the product key or keys that aredisplayed
* Now type in CSCRIPT OSPP.VBS /UNPKEY:/DSTATUS
* If there are more keys then delete these too. Re-run these commands as many times as you need to until no more keys are displayed when you run CSCRIPT OSPP.VBS /DSTATUS STEP 4: DISABLE MODERN AUTHENTICATION FOR OUTLOOK WARNING: For 99% of people disabling Modern Authentication will not cause any problems. If you have Multifactor Authentication enabled on your Office 365 account then you’ll need to generate an app password to log in. But if you just log in normally then disabling modern authentication won’t change anything. * Open the registry editor by searching for REGEDIT * Backup the registry: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/322756/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows * In the registry navigate to HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity by expanding the various parent keys until you reach Identity * Create a new DWORD 32-bit value and call it ENABLEADAL * Give it a value of 0 * Next create a new DWORD 32-bit value and call it DISABLEAADWAM * Give it a value of 1 * Next create a new DWORD 32-bit value and call it DISABLEADALATOPWAMOVERRIDE * Give it a value of 1 * Close the registry STEP 5: RESTART THE COMPUTER In order for our changes to be implemented we must restarted the computer before opening any office apps STEP 6: OPEN OUTLOOK Now open Outlook. You’ll be prompted for your password. Make sure that you select “Remember my Credentials”. You’ll also want to re-activate Office: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/activate-office-5bd38f38-db92-448b-a982-ad170b1e187e And that’s it! Outlook should accept your credentials and that password prompt should no longer bother you. HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM PAYPAL MARKETING EMAILS AND SPAM I recently signed up for a new PayPal account and I have been receiving marketing emails from Paypal that would not stop. Here is how to unsubscribe quickly and easily. When you log into you PayPal account there is no easy place to unsubscribe. I first looked in Settings > Notifications however the only options were these: There was no link anywhere to change marketing email preferences. And when I clicked the “unsubscribe” link in the emails themselves I was taken to a broken link. It took some sleuthing but eventually I figured out that this URL will take you to the PayPal marketing email options: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/settings/notifications/marketing Simply uncheck every box and then click Save. And you’ll be unsubscribed from PayPal marketing emails. You’ll still get important account emails. I hope that helps! :)Older posts
