HI Community:

My question is about setting my outlook.com (hotmail) account's security with a password so that for anyone to reach my email inbox the password would need to be entered.  At sometime in the past I put my email account on an "automatic open" status.  I now realize that while that mode made it easy and quick to access my email inbox it was foolish from a security standpoint.  After much searching and reading the FAQ's I am still mystified.  It must be a simple procedure to reinstall the password mode.  Call me a dummy.  Help most appreciated.  It was hard to find this facility for answers.  I quess I just stay here and wait for an answer.  If you want you could also email any answer to:  *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.  Big thanks.
