Account settings

The account settings page

Open the Account menu at the top and choose Settings. This page manages the admin account’s password and two-factor authentication.

Enter the Current password, then the New password twice and click Change password. The new password must differ from the current one and be between the minimum length shown on the page and 256 characters. After the change, other browsers signed in with the old password are signed out.

Besides the password, signing in also needs a 6-digit code from an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy.

  1. Click Enable 2FA.
  2. Scan the QR code with the authenticator app, or enter the Manual key into the app.
  3. Enter the 6-digit code now shown and click Confirm and enable.

The next time you sign in, enter your password followed by the six-digit code. After too many wrong attempts you must sign in again from the start.

This needs both the password and the current code, so someone who gets hold of your session still cannot turn it off.
