The Email Account Login Toolbar from Polarity Technologies Ltd. is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that is a clone of another of their products— Email Access Online. Both applications require integration with browsers like Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Also, they offer identical features, but they work with different redirect-portals, which all point to a customized Google search page. The Email Account Login Toolbar may alter your new tab page to Home.emailaccountlogin.co and use information like your Internet history, Web apps in use and bookmarks collection to generated targeted advertisements. Polarity Technologies Ltd. is known to publish ad-supported programs like Classifieds Easy, Test My Speeds and many others to drive Web traffic to certain portals and claim ad revenue from Google AdWords and Yahoo Ads. You can find two clones of the Email Account Login Toolbar on the Chrome Web Store at the following pages:

chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/login-email-account/nedjhoogmdhnjccgkflcpcajdknfjdhe
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/login-email-now/kobdbljpnocpkpobfnaenbbpmebpokgc

Both clones refer to loginemailaccount.com and loginemailnow.com that are connected to Polarity Technologies Ltd. and offer the same services. When the users follow the installation procedure for the Email Account Login Toolbar, they are invited to grant the following rights to the program:

  • Read and change your data on cooperating sites.
  • Read your browsing history.
  • Manage your apps, extensions and themes.

If you go through with the operation, your new tab is redesigned and powered by Home.emailaccountlogin.co. You should take into consideration that the connection to Home.emailaccountlogin.co is unencrypted and advertisers have access to a record of your input on Home.emailaccountlogin.co.

Your location and phone number might be recorded while browsing Home.emailaccountlogin.co and used for marketing purposes. PC users are advised to reconsider using the Email Account Login Toolbar and read the documentation posted on emailaccountlogin.co/Terms/Privacy and emailaccountlogin.co/Terms/Terms thoroughly.
