Password email different from login

Do I understand that the Mac OS X stores only one password per user for OS login and email.
That is the password for the user to login to the machine and the password for email access are one in the same?
thanks
ben

Sorry let me try to be more clear.

I want to have password1 for the user password and password2 for their email account.
Can this be done?

Keychain password different from login password

I've gotten mixed feedback on this: What additional security, if any, is obtained by making your keychain password different from your login password?

I concede that if:
- any shoulder-lookers/keyloggers have equal access to the login and keychain passwords
- the login password isn't being used for anything else
- the login password isn't being stored in some other insecure location (maybe in a script for use in a sudo command)
- you're not using ftp/some other protocol w/insecure logins to connect to that computer and get data
then there is no reason to have separate login and keychain passwords.
But what I'm saying is that there are lots of little things (like those I mentioned above) that can be security holes that one simply doesn't think about. A user who is truly concerned about security may wish to simply have two separate passwords, thereby avoiding many (not all) potential insecurities.

Retrieve Users Email Address from Login

Hi,
I'm trying to get the users e-mail address from the login providers (EG. MS, Google, Facebook and Twitter) so that I can insert it into the database on the Mobile Services side. I have gone through various articles about getting their full name etc, but
there is no mention of email address?
I need it as I need a way to send emails back to the user. Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks very much
Regards,
Mauro

This is similar to the blog post Rafal points to but more aggregated. However you might not be able to receive the email as ip's might not provide that info. (Please mark this as aswereed if you find it usefull)

PDF file previewed as an attachment to email differs from original

I have a pdf of a book cover that was created from an InDesign file.
It is a four-color book cover spread. I cropped the file and resaved with a new name to show only the front cover (the right side of the file).
I emailed this to a client and when they opened it, it showed the complete, uncropped version and the colors were missing.
I tested this several times and when the file is actually downloaded, it is correct.
But if it is "previewed" within the email client (AOL & Yahoo), this weird uncropped two-color version appears. I've been working with and emailing pdfs since Acrobat 4 and have never encountered anything like this.
Any idea what's happening?

Hello Bill, Thanks for weighing in. I had an 11X17 pdf provided by a designer that shows a book cover "spread" that was created in InDesign.
The back cover is shown on the left, the front cover on the right. I needed to create a sample for a book that is to be published soon that would include the front cover as the first page of the pdf and the back cover as the last page. I opened the 11X17 pdf in Photoshop CS 6 and made cropped versions of the front and back, saving them as jpgs. In Acrobat I created pdfs of the front and back jpgs and inserted those into the sample. The customer posted this to his website, here:
http://academicsofflight.com/
If you click on the "Coming Soon" link it takes you to the download of the sample.
When users download the file it is fine: a 12 page 880 KB pdf. But if they click and view it on their device, the first page shows the original uncropped version of the cover, without the colors (it shows up with a white background).
The customer complained and I emailed him the pdf I provided after checking to confirm that it was correct. But when I "viewed" it from the message I sent in Firefox using the Yahoo PDF viewer I got the same results (and was both mystified and mortified).
The first page is supposed to look exactly like the thumbnail on the website below "Coming Soon"
I have never seen anything like this in many years of using Photoshop and Acrobat. I'm on Photoshop CS6, Acrobat X, anf Firefox 28.

Same email address, different 'from' name

Hi - I would like to be able to send an email from ios to a 3rd party and choose who the recipient sees that it comes from, but use the one email address. So 1 'name' is my personal name, 1 is my business name.
I host a domain and I have sent up 2 email accounts in ios with different usernames let's say [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected] is set to divert to [email protected] on a server level, so ALL emails sent to either x or y, go to x. So I have both set up on my Mac, y doesn't get email, so I don't get double ups - when I want to send from a different user name, I just send from the other account.
Now ios has the same ability in theory and when I set it up the same way, it all works BUT the recipient receives the email from my personal name, despite me sending it from my business name???
Anyone have a fix or answer??!!
TIA!!

Hi there
I'm staying at a Novotel in Edinburgh. Their wireless shows up as "Orange France". The BT FON map shows it as a "single hotspot operated by a roaming partner".
While I can select "FON" from the list of providers for login, when I use my @btinternet email address as the login I am denied access.
Should I have a FON account name different from my btinternet email address. Is my FON password the same as my email password?
Thanks
Ben
Hi Ben. Welcome to the forums.
The BTFon access is via the primary email address and associated password.
Does the list of providers actually say BTFon or BTOpenzone ?

I have an iCloud account that is different from my apple account. How can I recover the forgotten password

Hello Bgenie
If you have forgotten the password to that Apple ID, then go to My Apple ID and you will see and option to reset your password. You will need to answer the security questions or if you have a rescue email address set up you can get it sent to that email to reset the password. Check out the article for more information.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Choose a password that is different from your last 5 passwords

Hi Experts
"Choose a password that is different from your last 5 passwords."
I want to take this setting off. So that you can use the same password every time.
What I have done is:       -Transaction - rz10
                                       -Change the following parameter "login/password_history_size = 0"
                                       -stop and start the SAP system.
Are there any other settings that I must change?
Thanks

This is not possible.
The password may not be changed to any of a useru2019s last five passwords, if the user changes the password himself or herself.
The administrator can reset a useru2019s password to any password, even to one of the last five passwords of this user. This is necessary, since the administrator should not know the passwords of the users. The user is prompted to change the password at the first interactive logon.

You are typing in the password for your iTunes account, not your email account ? If you are then try logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if it then works.

CAN ANYONE HELP?? I ALSO NEED TO KNOW WHICH/WHAT TO PICK FOR MY MAIL CLIENT. I'VE TRIED THREE DIFFERENT THINGS AND NONE OF THEM WORK!

Mail would be a good choice, unless you are using another email client, like Outlook. There is likely something wrong with the account setup in iPhoto. You may need to delete the account you set up and enter it again if you want to send with iPhoto instead of with Mail.
Give this a try to see what might be wrong: Drag a photo from iPhoto onto the Mail icon in the Dock. It will create a new message with the photo attached. If you click on the photo in Mail, it should show a popup menu to allow you to set the image size to send.
Check out some of the links in the More Like This section to the right. There might be some other suggestions.

We have 2 email accounts on our Ipad and want to password protect them from each other?

We have 2 email accounts on our Ipad and want ro password protect them from each other.I cannot see how tomdo this.

The only way to get around this would be if you could access each of those e-mail accounts via web mail. You can put a shortcut on the screen and then enter the login info for each one. Everything would be viewed on a web basis and nothing should be downloaded to the ipad itself. (beyond being in safari's history)

Forgot password but my email deleted from provider

Hi all
A friend of mine went through the 'forgot password' process but he can not put the email he have used when he registered because the email deleted from the provider. The email is not valid anymore so he can not use the forgot password option because the process asks for the email. Is there another way to retrieve my password for my friend's account? Maybe by using his mobile phone number? He remembers the username.
Any help appreciated!

if your account has a billing or purchase history in the last 6 months, you can request for a new password without the need of your registered email address. just click the link below;

Someone could have gotten ahold of your contact list or a friends contact list. That bad person either sent a mass email to you or sold the list to someone who did. The could have gotten the list
-- physical access to your computer
-- logging on to your email account from the web
-- a long cc list
You sure it was your contact list not a friends?
You may wish to change your passwords on all email accounts you have and the login passwords on all your computers.
