Loricated mail set up yahoo mail

To set up a loricated mail (also known as a "secure" or "encrypted" email) in Yahoo Mail, you'll need to follow these steps:

Note: Loricated mail is not a built-in feature in Yahoo Mail, but you can use a third-party extension or app to encrypt your emails.

Method 1: Using a third-party extension

  1. Install the "Mailvelope" extension from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
  2. Once installed, click on the Mailvelope icon in your browser toolbar.
  3. Click on "New Message" and compose your email as usual.
  4. Before sending, click on the Mailvelope icon again and select "Encrypt" from the dropdown menu.
  5. Enter the recipient's email address and a password to encrypt the message.
  6. Click "Send" to send the encrypted email.

Method 2: Using a third-party app

  1. Download and install the "ProtonMail" app from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
  2. Create a ProtonMail account or sign in if you already have one.
  3. Compose a new email in the ProtonMail app.
  4. Before sending, toggle the "Encrypt" switch to the "On" position.
  5. Enter the recipient's email address and a password to encrypt the message.
  6. Click "Send" to send the encrypted email.

Method 3: Using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy)

  1. Generate a PGP key pair using a tool like GPG4Win (for Windows) or GPGTools (for macOS).
  2. Share your public PGP key with the recipient.
  3. Compose a new email in Yahoo Mail.
  4. Before sending, add the recipient's email address and your PGP public key to the "To" field.
  5. Use a PGP plugin or extension (like Mailvelope) to encrypt the message.
  6. Click "Send" to send the encrypted email.

Remember to always verify the recipient's public PGP key before sending an encrypted email to ensure you're sending to the correct person.

Keep in mind that while loricated mail provides an additional layer of security, it's not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other security measures, such as strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
