The Security tab: passwords, two-factor, login alerts and active sessions

The Security & password tab in your account settings is where you keep your SimplyPrint login locked down. From one page you can change your password, turn on two-factor authentication, choose how you get alerted about new logins, set how long inactive logins stay signed in, and review (and log out) every device that is currently signed into your account.

This guide is the overview of that whole tab. Each section below links to a focused how-to where there is more to say.

What you can do here

The Security tab has four areas:

• Change your password - set a new password for your account.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) - add a one-time code from an authenticator app on top of your password.
• Login settings - get notified when your account is used from a new IP, and auto-log-out after a chosen period of inactivity.
• Devices you are logged in on - a searchable list of every active session, with a button to log any of them out.

How to open the Security tab

1. Click your name and avatar in the top-right corner of the panel.
2. Choose Your account from the dropdown.
3. Open the Security tab (the shield icon).

You can also go straight there at simplyprint.io/panel/user_settings/security.

Change your password

The change-password form is at the top-left of the tab.

1. Type your current password (this field is skipped if your account does not have a password yet).
2. Enter your new password - it must be at least 8 characters.
3. Repeat the new password to confirm it.
4. Click Change password.

The button stays disabled until both new-password fields match. If your current password is wrong, the change is rejected and nothing is saved.

If you cannot remember your current password, you do not have to come here at all - reset it from the login screen instead. See How to reset or change your password.

Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step to logging in: after your password, you enter a 6-digit code from an authenticator app such as Authy, Google Authenticator or any other TOTP app. Even if someone learns your password, they cannot get in without your phone.

To turn it on:

1. In the Two-Factor authentication section, click Enable Two-Factor authentication.
2. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (or type in the setup key manually if you cannot scan).
3. Enter the 6-digit code your app shows and click Verify code and continue.
4. Save your recovery codes. You will be shown a set of one-time recovery codes - download or copy them and keep them somewhere safe. They are the only way back in if you lose your phone.
5. Click Finish setup.

To turn 2FA off again, click Disable Two-Factor authentication and confirm with your password.

Login settings

The login settings let you decide how alert you want to be about account activity.

Get notified on login from a new IP

When your account is signed into from a device or IP address it has not seen before, SimplyPrint can alert you. Pick how you want that alert delivered:

• Email & app - both an email and a push notification (the default).
• Just email - email only.
• Just app - push notification only.
• Off - no new-login alerts.

The alert fires on a genuinely new session or a new IP address, not every single time you log in from a device you already use - so it stays useful rather than noisy.

Automatically log out after X days of inactivity

Choose how long a signed-in device can sit unused before SimplyPrint signs it out automatically:

• 90, 60, 30 or 7 days of inactivity, or
• Never - stay signed in until you log out manually.

The default is 60 days. The timer is based on inactivity, so a device you keep using stays logged in. After you change either setting, click Save.

Devices you are logged in on

The bottom of the tab lists every active login session on your account. For each one you can see:

• Device - the operating system and browser, each shown with an icon (for example Windows + Chrome). A login from the SimplyPrint mobile app shows the phone's operating system (for example iPhone or Android) with no browser.
• Place - the country flag and city the session last connected from.
• IP - the IP address.
• First use - when this session first signed in.
• Last use - when it was last active.

The list is searchable and sortable, so it is easy to spot something you do not recognise.

Logging out a device

• To sign out a single device, click the log out button on that row.
• To sign out everywhere else at once, use Log out of all devices. This ends every other session but keeps you signed in on the device you are using right now.

Account-wide security (for admins)

Everything above controls your own login. If you run an account and want to enforce security for every member - for example require two-factor authentication for everyone, or only allow the panel to be used from certain IP addresses or approved devices - those controls live in your account's settings, not on this personal tab.

See Require 2FA and restrict panel access by IP and Approved devices and IP restrictions, explained.
