While passwords, by definition, are meant to be secret, recent trends in the Internet usage have witnessed an increasing number of people sharing their email passwords for both personal and professional purposes. As sharing passwords increases the chances of your passwords being compromised, leading websites like Google strongly advise their users not to share their passwords with anyone. To cater to this conflict of usability versus security and privacy, we introduce ChaMAILeon, an experimental service, which allows users to share their email passwords while maintaining their privacy and not compromising their security. ChaMAILeon provides users with a unique capability to define access control on their emails. Now you can control who can see which emails and who can send emails to whom from your account, by having multiple passwords for your email. The service is already up and running!
