Password and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Corsizio is highly committed to providing a platform that prioritizes security and privacy. While we do everything we can on our end in this regard, it is equally important for you as the user to take appropriate security measures when it comes to your Corsizio account.
- First, as per our Terms of Use, logins and passwords are not to be shared between users. Each user that would like to be part of an organization's account on Corsizio must have their own user login and password and be responsible for their own login activity. Please refer to the following help doc if you need help adding multiple users to an account.
- Second, it is the responsibility of each user to keep their account secure by taking appropriate measures with regard to their login and password security. This includes you being the only person who has access to and control over your email inbox, as the user account email address is used to login, reset a password, verify the account, and receive secruity alerts.
Below are some more important tips and recommendations for you to apply to keep your Corsizio account secure.
Password Setup & Changes
Unique Passwords
As part of good account security and maintenance, do not use the same password for any important platform that you use where any kind of personal data is present. Your Corsizio account should always have its own unique password. Unique passwords can be generated using a password manager app. Regardless of how you choose to create them, they should be sufficiently long and include various letters, numbers, and special characters.
Regular Password Changes
It is very important not to keep the same password for too long on any account and making sure to change it immediately in case you ever feel your login credentials were compromised in any way is very important. Under normal circumstances, password changes should be done once per year, but you may wish to do them more or less frequently depending on your needs and security comfort level.
Whenever your password is changed on Corsizio, you will be sent a security alert email about this change, so be sure that your user login email address is always valid.
To change your password, go to your Corsizio Dashboard and then go to Settings. Within the My User Profile area, you are presented with the option to change your password.
Forgetting to Log Out on Public or Other Devices
If you ever think you left yourself logged into your Corsizio account on a public or other person's device, you can end any such sessions by changing your Corsizio account password. Even if you change it to the same password, by taking the "Change your password" action it will automatically log you out of all sessions that you may have open on any devices.
Password Resets
If you cannot remember your password and are unable to log into your account, you can reset it from the login screen by following the "forgot password" link. You will need your user login email address that is on the account. The system will send a unique reset link to this email address, which you would follow to enter and reset your password. For this and other security reasons, it is extremely important that you are the only one with access to and control over your email inbox, as the user account email address is used to log in, reset a password, verify the account, and receive security alerts.
Two-Factor Authentication
You can enhance and further protect your account security with two-factor authentication for your user login. We encourage all users to set up and enable two-factor authentication.
To turn on Two-Factor Authentication, go to your Corsizio Dashboard and then go to Settings. Within the My User Profile area, you are presented with the option to set up and enable 2FA.
To set up and enable two-factor authentication
- Open your Authenticator App of choice to set up 2FA. This can be your favorite password manager or a dedicated 2FA authentication app, like Google Authenticator or Authy. Most modern password manager apps, like 1Password or LastPass, also act as 2FA authentication apps to generate verification codes for you in a convenient way during login. You may configure multiple authentication apps using the same QR code provided on the screen if you desire.
- Then you scan the QR code provided on the screen with your Authenticator App or copy its secret key if your app asks for it.
- Finally, enter a code from your Authenticator App to verify the setup and enable 2FA on the account.
When two-factor authentication is enabled, you will be asked to enter a one-time verification code from your Authenticator App when logging into your Corsizio account.
You can also turn off two-factor authentication at any time in your account settings, but we highly advise you to have it enabled to protect your account and its data.
