If you continue to use old versions like Outlook 2013, you’ll be keeping your digital life at risk of being hacked.Įspecially for something as sensitive as your email account, you should keep that as secure as possible. Nowadays, that’s a primary reason why software developers release new versions – to plug those holes in software security. After all, hackers can get these products cheaply, and actively work to find and exploit vulnerabilities. Using old versions of application software is an inherent security risk. That’s 1tb per-user, so potentially a huge benefit for keeping your personal files safe and secure (and synchronized over multiple computers if you wish).
I should note that subscription also includes 1tb of cloud-based storage space on Microsoft’s OneDrive platform. Microsoft 365 gives you access to all the Office apps, including Outlook, Word, Excel and Powerpoint. The personal license can be installed on one computer only, the family license lets you install the apps on up to 6 computers. Most likely you’ll want a “Personal and Family” subscription, and you can choose from a personal license for $69.99 or a family license for $99.99 – both these are annual fees.
If you’re deciding to stick with Outlook 2013 for now, AOL has a solution – use a specific “app password” for Outlook that’d different than your regular password (which you’ll use to log into your email account from more secure apps or locations, such as ).Īpp passwords reduce the default security settings for access to your email account so that less-secure applications (like Outlook 2013) can access the account. Again, your first choice should be to upgrade Outlook. That second aspect has likely put you in a bind – AOL considers Outlook 2013 as unsafe, insecure and is restricting access to your account. You mentioned that you’re using Outlook 2013 – that is an older version of Microsoft Outlook.
