Account Security

Secure your Qualflare account with two-factor authentication, session management, connected OAuth accounts, and password management.

Account Security

Qualflare provides several tools to keep your account secure. This guide covers setting up two-factor authentication, managing active sessions, and connecting or disconnecting OAuth accounts.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds a second verification step to your login, requiring a code from an authenticator app in addition to your password.

Setting Up 2FA

Go to Account → Two-Factor Authentication
Click Enable 2FA
Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.)
Enter the 6-digit code shown in your authenticator app to confirm setup
Save your recovery codes in a secure location

Recovery codes are used to regain access if you lose your authenticator device. Store them in a secure place — they cannot be retrieved later.

Disabling 2FA

Go to Account → Two-Factor Authentication
Click Disable 2FA
Enter your current password and a verification code to confirm

Managing Active Sessions

View and manage all active login sessions for your account.

Go to Account → Sessions
The list shows each session with:
- Device/browser type
- IP address
- Location (approximate)
- Last active time
Click Revoke on any session you don't recognize or no longer need

Revoking a session immediately signs out that device. Use this if you suspect unauthorized access or if you lost a logged-in device.

Connected Accounts (OAuth)

You can connect social/OAuth login providers to sign in without a password.

Connecting an Account

Go to Account → Connected Accounts
Click Connect next to the provider you want to add (Google, GitHub, etc.)
Complete the OAuth authorization flow
The provider is now linked — you can sign in using this account

Disconnecting an Account

Go to Account → Connected Accounts
Click Disconnect next to the provider
Confirm the disconnection

Make sure you have a password set or another connected account before disconnecting — otherwise you may lose access to your account.

Changing Your Password

Go to Account → Update Password
Enter your current password
Enter and confirm your new password
Click Update

Qualflare sends an email alert when your account is signed in from a new or unrecognized IP address. If you receive this email and don't recognize the login, change your password immediately and revoke the session.
