Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If two-factor authentication is turned on for your account:

  2. Open your authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Authy)
  3. Enter the 6-digit code from your app
  4. Click Verify

  1. Click Forgot Password on the login page

Keeping Your Account Secure

Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication makes your account extra secure by requiring a code from your phone in addition to your password:

  1. Go to Settings → Profile
  2. Click Enable 2FA (if it's available)
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app
  4. Enter a verification code to finish setting it up

Important: Save your backup codes somewhere safe. You'll need them if you lose access to your phone or authenticator app.

Tips for a Strong Password

  • Use at least 8 characters (we require at least 6)
  • Mix uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Add some numbers and special characters
  • Don't use the same password you use elsewhere
  • Change it every once in a while

Changing Your Password

  1. Go to Settings → Change Password
  2. Enter your current password
  3. Enter your new password
  4. Type your new password again to confirm
  5. Click Update Password

Managing Your Session

Signing Out

  • Click your name in the top right corner
  • Select Sign Out

Tip: Always sign out when you're using a shared computer to keep your account safe.

Automatic Sign Out

If you're away for a while, you'll be automatically signed out for security. Just sign back in when you're ready to continue.

If You're Locked Out

If you can't get into your account:

  1. Try the Forgot Password feature first
  2. If you're part of a team, contact your administrator
  3. Check your email for any account-related messages

Security Tips

  • Never share your password - Not with anyone, ever
  • Turn on 2FA - It adds an extra layer of protection
  • Use a password manager - It makes creating and remembering strong passwords easy
  • Watch out for fake emails - We'll never ask for your password in an email
  • Tell someone if something seems wrong - Report any suspicious activity to your administrator right away

What You Can Access

What you can do depends on your role:

  • Admin - You can do everything
  • Employee - You can do day-to-day work, with some settings limited
  • View Only - You can see things but can't make changes

If you need different permissions, talk to your administrator.
