If you’re reading this you’ve likely received a Virtru-secured email, but you don’t have Virtru installed. We’ll show you just how easy it is to read and reply to your message, as well as how to add secure attachments.
Step by step instructions:
- Open the email in your inbox and click "Unlock Message". A new tab will open.
- When prompted, select your email address. If you don't see yours listed, click "My Email is not here" and enter your information.
- Choose how you'd like to verify your identity.
- Google & Office 365 users can use their preexisting credentials to log in directly using Login with Google or Login with Office 365. You'll be taken directly to your message.
- Select Send me an email if you use a different provider to verify your identity via email.
- Check your inbox for your verification email, coming from verify@virtru.com.
- Open the verification email and click "Verify Me" to open your message.
Note:
Both the "Unlock Message" and "Verify Me" links need to be opened in the same browser on the same device in order to confirm your identity.
Please note, Virtru now also offers a “cookie-less” verification pathway. If we detect that cookies and local storage have been disabled in the browser, we send a verification/validation code via email. This code, once received, simply needs to be pasted into the proper field in the you browser in order to grant access. If you are having trouble entering all 8 digits, please check to make sure there is not a space in front of the code in the entry box.
- Your message will open in a new tab in the browser.
- To send a secure reply, click into the text field at the bottom of the message or click "Secure Reply".
- At the top left of the Reply box, you can select whether to reply to the sender only or all of the recipients on the email by selecting the “Reply” option. After you finish composing your message, click “Send Secure Reply”.
- Attachments can be added by clicking "Add Attachment". These will be sent securely as well.
