Support Essentials Email Account

Email Account

Your primary email is the master key to most of your other accounts — almost every "forgot password" flow ends with a reset link sent here. Storing the login ensures your family can recover anything else they need.

What You Can Store

Email Address

The address you use for important account signups, password resets, and 2FA backup codes.

Password

The login password for the account.

Notes

Mention 2FA setup (authenticator app, SMS, security key), any forwarding rules, or where recovery codes are stored.

How to Add Your Email Account

1

Open Essentials in the app

Tap Essentials and select Email Account.

2

Enter your primary email address

If you have multiple, store the one most accounts use for password resets first. Add others under Online Accounts › General Accounts.

3

Enter your password

Encrypted end-to-end. Only your trusted contacts can see it.

4

Document 2FA in Notes

If your email has two-factor enabled, list which method (authenticator app, SMS, security key) and where backup codes are stored.

5

Save and update on changes

Come back any time you rotate your password or change 2FA settings.

Why This Matters

If your family has the phone passcode and the email login, they can reset most other passwords from there. Email is the bottleneck for account recovery across the modern internet — protecting access to it protects access to everything downstream.
