User passwords and protecting children from spam
Creating a user password enhances the privacy level. A user’s personal settings,
Friends List, and Accepted E-mail list cannot be accessed by another user without
the log on password. Creating passwords is also beneficial in preventing children
from accessing SpamKiller and viewing the content of spam messages.
