CenturyLink email sign-in options

You can stay signed in to your CenturyLink email. You can also set an account recovery option.

The next time you sign in to your email, just check the box that says Stay signed in. That's all there is to it!

For security purposes, do not select this option if you are on a public device.

Sign out temporarily

Are you having guests, or would just like a little extra security for a short time without changing your settings? You can simply click the Sign out link on your email homepage, and the next time you try to access your email, you'll have to sign in.

Set up an account recovery method

If you have not already entered a phone number or additional email address for account recovery, you'll see a pop-up whenever you sign in prompting you to do so.

This feature adds one more level of security to your email account, making it harder for a stranger to access it, and giving you a secure recovery option if you forget your password or need to reset it.

Keep your CenturyLink email active

Like many free web-based email services, unused CenturyLink email accounts are deactivated after a certain amount of time. To keep your CenturyLink email active, be sure to log in at least once a year. Accounts with no activity for more than a year will be deactivated and all contents deleted.
