Account & Security

Sign up, sign in, two-factor authentication, passkeys, profile, and language.

Everything about a customer's identity lives under Settings. This guide covers signing in and locking the account down.

Creating an account

Sign up

Customers register with email + password at /signup, or with a social login (Google/GitHub) when those are configured.

Verify email

If email verification is enabled, a verification link is sent before the account is fully active.

Onboarding

A short flow collects a display name, optional avatar, and preferred language.

Signing in

The portal supports several sign-in methods, depending on what the operator has enabled:

MethodNotes
PasswordStandard email + password.
Magic linkPasswordless — a one-time link sent by email.
PasskeysWebAuthn biometric/security-key login.
SocialGoogle / GitHub, when configured.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Open Settings → Security

Find the Two-factor authentication section.

Scan the QR code

Use any authenticator app (1Password, Authy, Google Authenticator) to scan the code, then enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

Save your recovery codes

Store the backup codes somewhere safe — they're the way back in if you lose your device.

After enabling, sign-in prompts for a code at /two-factor.

Passkeys

Passkeys replace passwords with your device's biometrics or a hardware key. Under Settings → Security, choose Add passkey and follow the browser prompt. You can register multiple passkeys (laptop, phone, security key) and remove any of them later.

Profile

Under Settings → Profile, customers can update:

  • Display name
  • Avatar — uploaded to secure object storage via a presigned URL
  • Language — see below

Language

The entire UI is localized. Change it in two places, which stay in sync:

  • The language switcher in the top navigation (applies immediately)
  • Settings → Profile → Language (also saved to the account)

The selected language is stored both in a cookie (so the current browser switches instantly) and on the account (so it follows the user across devices).

Danger zone

Settings → Danger holds irreversible actions such as account deletion. These require an explicit confirmation step.
