Secure your account

Your account controls your website, your customers' data and your money. A few minutes of setup makes it dramatically harder for anyone else to get in.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Turn on two-factor authentication

    In Settings → Security, enable two-factor authentication with an authenticator app. Save your one-time recovery codes somewhere safe in case you lose your phone.

  2. 2

    Review your sign-ins

    Check the recent sign-ins list. If you don't recognise one, change your password — every other device gets signed out.

  3. 3

    Give the right access

    If you have a team, invite them with the least access they need. Roles are enforced, so a viewer can't change what only an admin should.

  4. 4

    Know your safety nets

    Sensitive actions ask you to confirm it's you (step-up), and security emails alert you to password, 2FA and new-device events — so account takeover is visible, not silent.

Best practices

  • Use an authenticator app rather than SMS — it's stronger and not tied to your phone number.
  • Store your recovery codes offline, not in the same place as your password.
  • Give each team member only the access their job needs.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping 2FA because it feels like a hassle — it's the single biggest protection.
  • Sharing one login across a team instead of inviting members with roles.
