Secure operator access

Every authenticated user owns their personal Profile and Password & 2FA settings. Account configuration is more restricted, but account security is available to operator admins, permitted staff, agents, affiliates, and platform users for their own sign-in.

Update the password

  1. Open the user menu and choose Settings.
  2. Select Password & 2FA.
  3. Enter the current password.
  4. Enter and confirm a long, unique new password that satisfies the form rules.
  5. Save the change and confirm the success message.
Use a password manager. Do not reuse the router password, email password, provider dashboard password, or an API key. If the current password is rejected, use password recovery rather than repeatedly guessing. A user already signed in through an impersonation or support workflow should return to their own account before changing credentials.

Enable two-factor authentication

1

Start setup

In Password & 2FA, choose to enable two-factor authentication. The setup dialog presents an authenticator secret or QR code.
2

Enroll an authenticator

Scan the QR code with a trusted TOTP authenticator. Do not photograph it, paste it into chat, or send it in a ticket.
3

Verify the code

Enter the current authenticator code to complete setup. If a code fails, confirm the device clock is set automatically and try the next generated code once.
4

Store recovery codes

Save the recovery codes outside the device that holds the authenticator. A password manager or controlled offline record is appropriate. Each code should be treated like a password.
Regenerating recovery codes invalidates the old set. Replace every stored copy immediately after regeneration.

Add a passkey

The security page can register a passkey backed by Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, Android screen lock, or a hardware security key, depending on browser/device support.
  1. Choose Add passkey.
  2. Follow the browser or operating-system prompt.
  3. Give the credential a recognizable device context if prompted.
  4. Test sign-in before relying on it as the only convenient authentication method.
A passkey does not remove the need to retain controlled recovery access. Browser private mode, remote desktops, and older devices may not expose the required authenticator.

Recovery and lockout

Lost authenticator but recovery codes available

Use one recovery code at the two-factor challenge, sign in, remove the lost authenticator, enroll a new one, and regenerate recovery codes.

Lost authenticator and no recovery codes

Use the formal account-recovery/support route. Be prepared to verify ownership. Support personnel should not ask you to disclose a password, API key, router secret, or payment-provider secret.

Password-reset email does not arrive

Confirm the address, check spam/quarantine, and avoid repeated rapid submissions. Record the timestamp and error if escalation is needed.

Staff and shared access

Never share the owner account. Create a separate staff identity and grant only the permissions needed for the role. When a staff member leaves, remove or disable their access and review API tokens, webhooks, payment credentials, and router access they managed. See Staff and permissions and Settings.
