An email server provided according to an aspect of the present invention protects authentication information of user applications when access user's email account is compromised. In an embodiment, when an email message directed to a user contains content which provides access to authentication information for accessing a user application implemented external to said email server, the email server requires authentication credentials from the user before providing access to the content. As a result, even if the user's email account is compromised, additional controls are provided to reduce the probability of compromise of access to user applications implemented external to the email server. |
