Do you need help with OAuth?
If you're like most people, you have email apps that let you read and manage email on your computer and mobile devices.
For your security, we suggest you only use email apps with an email technology known as Open Authentication or OAuth.
OAuth encrypts your username and password to protect your info from hackers and fraudsters.
Learn about OAuth and find out if your app uses OAuth.

We are implementing a more secure way for customers using mail clients to login to their AT&T mail service.
If you use a mail client like Thunderbird, Gmail, or Outlook to access your mail on your mobile device or computer, you may need to update your settings.
1. You can access your email with apps that encrypt your username and password with Open Authentication (OAuth).
2. You can check your AT&T email at currently.com (formerly att.net).
3. You can use a Secure Mail Key to access email with an app that doesn't use encryption.
Do you need help with Secure Mail Keys?
If you are using one of the following Non-OAuth compatible email apps:
• Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019
• Mozilla Thunderbird
• Windows Mail on personal computers running Windows 8 or older
• Apple Mail/Mac Mail on macOS 10.10/Yosemite or older
Creating Secure Mail Key for each of your AT&T email addresses and subaccounts will allow you to continue to:
• Access your AT&T Mail using your favorite email apps.
• Synchronize other account info, such as your calendar and contacts, to your email app.
Learn about Secure Mail Keys and why you’ll need one to access your AT&T email from a desktop program or email app without Open Authentication (OAuth).
It's easy to create a secure mail key from your mobile device, tablet, or computer. Have your User ID and password ready to sign in to myAT&T.

5. Select Add secure mail key and then enter a nickname for the secure mail key to make it easier to recognize.
6. Choose Create secure mail key.
7. Select Copy secure mail key to clipboard. Make a note of your secure mail key, so you have it handy if you need to update an email app on several devices.
• For security purposes, the secure mail key only displays until you select OK.
• If you lose or forget the secure mail key, you can create new secure mail keys.
8. Select OK.
9. Go to your preferred email app and replace the existing password with your secure mail key. For an IMAP account, delete the existing password for both the IMAP and SMTP servers and replace them with your secure mail key.
A Secure Mail Key will not affect your AT&T email password.
You'll still use the same password you use for your AT&T Mail account in OAuth-compatible apps, myAT&T, other AT&T products like currently.com and webmail. And, when you change your AT&T email password, you won't need to get a new Secure Mail Key.
