On rare occasion, your YCP email account may be compromised: someone else might be using it without your permission. If you suspect this is happening to you, immediately change your password. Then, check your Gmail settings (explained below) to undo any changes that the hacker may have made.
If you haven't already, please fill out your SMS/Alternate Email in myid.ycp.edu. (This will allow you to unlock your account, without needing our help, if you're ever compromised.)
Note: Consider using LastPass, to make & store secure passwords.
Note: You can only access all Gmail settings from a computer.
