Account security

Changing or resetting a password, configuring TOTP two-factor authentication, and managing recovery codes.

Changing your password

Under Account Settings, enter the current password and a new password between 8 and 128 characters.

Resetting your password

Open the recovery entry on the sign-in page:

  1. Enter the account email address to request a 6-digit reset code.
  2. Submit the reset code and a new password.

The reset code is valid for 30 minutes. The page shows the same result after every request; if no email arrives, first check that the address belongs to the account.

A successful reset invalidates every browser session, which must sign in again. Registered devices use separate device identities and are unaffected.

Two-factor authentication

Account Settings supports TOTP two-factor authentication:

  1. Start enrolment and scan the QR code with an authenticator app.
  2. Enter the current 6-digit code.
  3. Store the 10 recovery codes shown once on completion.

Each recovery code works once. Store them securely and separately from the authenticator device.

Disabling two-factor authentication

Disabling two-factor requires a password or two-factor check within the last 15 minutes. The console requests fresh authentication when that window has expired.

Replacing recovery codes

Re-enrolling two-factor authentication creates a fresh set. If neither the authenticator nor a recovery code is available, contact support through live chat.

After changing account security

The client does not store the account password. After changing account security settings:

If a device can no longer access the network and reports an authentication error, confirm that the device and network still exist, then run the install command again.

Quick troubleshooting

Symptom Check and action
No password reset email arrives Verify the email address; a successful request does not prove the account exists
TOTP codes keep failing Check that the authenticator device synchronises its clock automatically, then use the current code
A recovery code fails Confirm it is complete and has not been used; every code works once
Two-factor cannot be disabled Re-authenticate so the password or two-factor check is within the 15-minute window
A device reports an authentication error Confirm account, network and device state; reinstall if needed, and check the code in troubleshooting
