This article will discuss what functionality these settings provide.

Please note that this article is specific to full PreVeil account users. For PreVeil Express account users, please reference this article for your user settings options.

Profile

The Profile page will be where you can see the name and email address related to your PreVeil account.

You can also set email signatures here for emails you send in the PreVeil browser application.

Device Management

This is where you can manage the devices you’ve added your PreVeil account to.

For the device that you’re currently accessing PreVeil on (listed as Current Device in the Status column), you can rename the device or disconnect it.

  • Renaming a device allows you to give it a more descriptive name than the default name PreVeil issues.

  • Disconnecting a device removes your PreVeil encryption key from that device. Caution: Your encryption key is what allows you to access your account, so if you disconnect your current device, this results in losing access to your account on that device.

For any devices listed as Active in the Status column, these are the additional devices you can access your PreVeil account on, and you have three options here: Rename, Lock, and Delete.

  • Renaming a device allows you to give it a more descriptive name than the default name PreVeil issues.

  • Locking a device locks the PreVeil application on that device so it cannot be accessed. A locked device can later be unlocked as well.

  • Deleting a device removes the PreVeil encryption key from that device. This is a permanent way of removing access to the PreVeil account on that device.
