Account and security
These settings belong to you, not to an organization, and apply in every organization you’re in.
Profile
Section titled “Profile”Settings → Account shows your name and email. Change your name and click Save name.
Change your password
Section titled “Change your password”On Settings → Account, enter your current password and the new one twice, then click Change password.
- Passwords must be 10 to 128 characters. A long passphrase from your password manager is best.
- Changing your password signs you out on every other device. The browser you’re using stays signed in.
Forgot your password?
Section titled “Forgot your password?”On the sign-in page, click Forgot your password? and enter your email. The reset link works once, for 1 hour. Resetting your password signs you out everywhere.
Where you’re signed in
Section titled “Where you’re signed in”Settings → Security lists every browser and device signed in to your account, with when each was last active. The one you’re using is marked This browser.
- Click Sign out next to any session you don’t recognise.
- Or click Sign out all other sessions to keep only the current one.
If you see a session you don’t recognise, sign it out and change your password.
Sessions last 7 days and are extended while you keep using Shiplon.
Two-factor authentication
Section titled “Two-factor authentication”Not available yet. It’s planned, and this page will explain how to turn it on once it is.
How Shiplon protects your account
Section titled “How Shiplon protects your account”- Passwords are stored only as a strong one-way hash, never as text.
- Email confirmation is required before your first sign-in.
- Repeated sign-in attempts from one address are slowed down, which makes guessing passwords impractical.
- Sign-in and sign-up responses don’t reveal whether an email has an account.
Good practice
Section titled “Good practice”- Use a unique password you don’t use anywhere else, kept in a password manager.
- Sign out on shared computers.
- Keep your email account secure: whoever controls it can reset your Shiplon password.
