Why each option
To prevent unauthorized access to personal webmail on a public kiosk, customers should immediately clear the browser's cache, cookies, and browsing history.
Restarting the kiosk might clear some temporary data, but it's not guaranteed to clear all browser-specific session data or persistent cookies.
Changing the webmail password is an important security practice but does not prevent access if an active session or stored credentials remain on the kiosk browser.
Resetting the browser's home page is cosmetic and has no effect on stored login credentials or active sessions.
Clearing the browser cache, cookies, and history removes any stored credentials, session tokens, or personal data that might have been saved during the webmail session. This action helps to ensure that subsequent users of the kiosk cannot access the previously logged-in email account or retrieve sensitive information.
Concept tested: Public computer security - Browser data clearing
