Can i use a public email account if i have a fndn account

In general, it's not recommended to use a public email account (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook) with a Foundation (FND) account. Here's why:

1. Security: Public email accounts are more vulnerable to hacking and phishing attacks, which could compromise your FND account and potentially lead to unauthorized access or data breaches.
2. Authentication: Public email accounts may not be able to authenticate with the FND platform as securely as a dedicated email account, which could lead to issues with login or account verification.
3. Account linking: Some FND platforms may not allow linking a public email account to your FND account, as they may require a more secure and dedicated email address for authentication and communication purposes.
4. Data ownership: Public email accounts are owned and managed by third-party providers, which means you may not have full control over your email data or be able to access it if the provider changes its policies or goes out of business.

Instead, it's recommended to create a dedicated email account specifically for your FND account. This can be a:

1. Custom domain email: If you have a custom domain (e.g., yourname.com), you can set up a professional email address (e.g., [email protected]) that is more secure and easier to manage.
2. FND-provided email: Some FND platforms offer their own email services or allow you to create a dedicated email address within their platform. This can be a convenient option, as it's specifically designed for FND account management and may offer additional security features.

Remember to always follow best practices for email security and management, regardless of the email account you choose to use with your FND account.
