Security & access

Joinways is built for teams: strong auth + controlled access.

Security & access

The Security section helps you strengthen protection for your account and workspace: multi-factor authentication (MFA/TOTP), password update, email update, linked accounts (OAuth), and account deletion.

Where to find security settings

Go to Settings > Security.

This page is usually available to workspace owners and sometimes to users with admin permissions.

Personal account vs workspace

• Personal account
• Represents you (email, password, MFA, linked accounts).
• Managed from My account (user profile settings) or Settings > Security, depending on what the app exposes.
• Workspace
• Represents the team (e.g. require MFA for all members).
• Typically managed under the workspace’s Settings > Security.

Always check whether a setting affects only your account or the entire workspace.

Two-factor authentication (MFA)

If available, you can enable MFA from Settings > Security or My account.

To enable MFA:

1. Open Settings > Security (or My account).
2. Choose your MFA method (e.g. authenticator app TOTP or SMS).
3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app or enter the provided key.
4. Enter the 6-digit code from your app/SMS to confirm.

Once enabled, MFA will be required at login when configured.

To disable MFA:

1. Go back to Settings > Security (or My account).
2. Choose the option to disable or remove two-factor authentication.
3. Confirm by re-entering your password and an MFA code.

Session management

In Settings > Security, you may see a list of active sessions, including:

• Device or browser
• Location (approximate)
• Last activity time

From here you can:

• Revoke a specific session (remote sign-out) if a device is lost or looks unfamiliar.
• Use Sign out all devices or Revoke all other sessions after changing your password or if you suspect a security issue.

Password

Password settings are usually under My account (profile) or Settings > Security.

To change your password:

1. Open My account or Settings > Security.
2. Enter your current password.
3. Enter and confirm your new password.
4. Save the change.

After changing your password, you may be signed out on other devices depending on the app’s configuration.

Best practices

• Enable MFA for every account that can access sensitive data.
• Regularly review active sessions and revoke any you don’t recognize.
• Use a strong, unique password for your Joinways account.
• Consider requiring MFA at the workspace level (if supported) for all members.
