Keep your account safe

Eight habits that protect your account and your team’s work.

1 min read
  • Use a long, unique password and let a password manager remember it.
  • Turn on two-step sign-in. See Two-step sign-in with an authenticator app.
  • Keep recovery codes somewhere safe, such as a password manager, not in email.
  • Sign out on shared computers. See Sign out.
  • Never share your password or your 6-digit code, even with someone who says they are from IdeaLine.
  • Check links before you click. IdeaLine emails come from the idealine.io domain. When in doubt, go to the sign-in page yourself instead of using an emailed link.
  • Report a password change you did not make. The email we send has a link to secure your account. It signs every device out and locks the password until you choose a new one.
  • Share read-only links carefully. Anyone with the link can see that project. See Share a read-only link to a project.
