Configuring security alerts

Security alerts inform you immediately when a security-related event occurs. Some security alerts are required. In the list of security alerts, required alerts are dimmed. You can enable or disable optional security alerts. The available security alert types vary, depending on your account type.

When an enabled alert is triggered, we send a security alert message. Security alerts are always sent as secure messages. You can add additional delivery methods. When a security alert is triggered, the alert is sent to all of the configured delivery methods.

You should not rely on email alerts alone, since email can be delayed or interrupted. Always use a second delivery method along with email for greater security.
