Welcome to the guide for using the redesigned Security Center within the AdBooks application. This module centralizes all account protection mechanisms in one place.
🚀 How to access the Account Security Center? All security options are now located in one clear place:
- Click on your name in the upper right corner of the screen.
- From the drop-down menu, click on Change Password.
- 💡 Quick link: You can also access the settings directly via this link: https://app.adbooks.co/admin/profile/change_password
🔧 Activation and Configuration of Security Features
0. Change Password #
Allows you to regularly update your password for enhanced account security.
How to change your password: In the password change section, enter your old password, then type your new password (ensuring it contains a minimum of 8 characters, an uppercase letter, a number, and a special character), and confirm the new password in the Confirm new password field. Finally, click the Update Password button.
1. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Adds a second layer of protection: even if someone learns your password, they will not be able to log in without access to your phone.
- How to enable 2FA: In the Two-Factor Authentication section, click Enable 2FA. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy), enter the generated 6-digit code, and save the generated backup codes in a secure place.
- How to disable 2FA: Click Disable 2FA and confirm with your current password (this also invalidates existing backup codes).
2. Email Verification and Recovery #
The foundation of account security used for identity confirmation, password recovery, and receiving notifications.
- How to verify email: In the Primary Email section, click Resend Verification if the status is not verified, and click the link that arrives in your inbox.
- Changing the email address: Click Change Email, enter the new address, and confirm your password. For security reasons, the change takes effect only by clicking the link sent to the new address (with a notification sent to the old one).
3. Phone Number and SMS Verification #
Provides an additional channel for security codes and account recovery.
- How to add/change a number: In the Phone Number section, click Add / Edit Number, confirm your password, enter the number in international format, and enter the received SMS code.
- SMS recovery: The feature for sending SMS codes for 2FA and account recovery is fully active and functional via the integrated telecommunication operator.
4. Active Devices and Trusted Sessions #
The Security Center monitors which devices and locations are accessing your account.
- First login / new device: Upon the first login after the update or from a new device, the system requests additional confirmation (2FA code or a one-time email code).
- “Remember this device”: By checking this option, the device will not request verification for the next 30 days.
- Device management: The list displays the device/browser name, IP address, and date of use. By clicking Revoke at any time, you can remove a suspicious or old device.
5. Recent Security Activity #
A transparent, chronological log of everything happening on your account.
- What is recorded: Logins, password changes, 2FA modifications, email/phone verifications, and password reset requests.
- Display: Event type, approximate location (city/country), used device/browser, and timestamp.
- Unauthorized access detection: By regularly reviewing this list, you can immediately notice suspicious activities, after which you can change your password and revoke trusted devices.
