When the installation is complete, the following window displays. Click "Finish."

Click the PreVeil shortcut on your desktop or go to PreVeil.com/app to create your new account.

Click the "Create Account" button.

Enter the email address* you want to use as your primary PreVeil ID, and then click "Send Verification Email"

Info

An email is sent to this address to verify your identity. Since the PreVeil account that gets created is permanently associated with this email address, it is important that personal PreVeil accounts be created with personal email addresses (not work email addresses).

You do not have to enter a password to create a PreVeil account. Your private key is your password. This makes for a much more secure account because:

  • No one can steal your key--it's never stored on a server

  • The key is random and lengthy--it cannot be guessed

  • Keys are unique and not recycled--it's yours and yours alone

Access your email address to view the verification code. It may be located in your spam/junk folder.

Copy the verification code to the browser window and click “Verify”

You are taken to your new PreVeil Inbox and provided with the opportunity to install PreVeil into Outlook.

Info

It is not necessary to install PreVeil into Outlook in order to send and receive encrypted emails. You can also do all of that in PreVeil's webmail app from your browser.
