The **email clients** we recommend support both [OpenPGP](encryption.md#openpgp) and strong authentication such as [Open Authorization (OAuth)](basics/account-creation.md#sign-in-with-oauth). OAuth allows you to use [Multi-Factor Authentication](basics/multi-factor-authentication.md) to prevent account theft.

<details class="warning" markdown>
<summary>Email does not provide forward secrecy</summary>

When using end-to-end encryption (E2EE) technology like OpenPGP, email will still have [some metadata](basics/email-security.md#email-metadata-overview) that is not encrypted in the header of the email.

OpenPGP also does not support [forward secrecy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy), which means if either your or the recipient's private key is ever stolen, all previous messages encrypted with it will be exposed: [How do I protect my private keys?](basics/email-security.md) Consider using a medium that provides forward secrecy:

#### Thunderbird-user.js (고급)

[`thunderbird-user.js`](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js) is a set of configuration options that aims to disable as many of the web-browsing features within Thunderbird Desktop as possible in order to reduce attack surface and maintain privacy. Some of the changes are backported from the [Arkenfox project](desktop-browsers.md#arkenfox-advanced).
