Before creating an account, you must first Install PreVeil on your PC.

 

 

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

 

Click the "Create Account" button.

 

2. Enter your first and last name and the email address* you want to use as your primary PreVeil ID. Ensure that you have selected the PreVeil Terms of Service check box, and then click "Create Account."

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

 

 

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your email address.

You must open and verify your email address on the same computer on which you are installing the PreVeil account.

 

4. Open your email inbox and locate the email from PreVeil. 

Click the "I'm on a computer" button.

 

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

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.
