Security settings are defined during the account registration and can be updated anytime later. To review and adjust your security settings, click on your initials in the top-right corner.
In the dropdown, you will find My security settings where you can:
Set up and change your password.
Enable or disable 2-step verification methods.
View recovery codes.
💡 Recovery codes are available only with the 2-step verification enabled.
Password
To change your password:
Click Change.
Enter your current password.
Enter and confirm your new password.
Click Save.
💡 New password must differ from the last 10 passwords previously used for your Ideals account.
If Single Sign-On integration is set up, users might not have previously set security settings. In this case, users will have an option to create a password if needed. Once the password is created, other security settings will become available.
2-step verification
You can review and change current verification methods, enable or disable 2-step verification.
If no verification methods are currently set up, enable the toggle to proceed with the preferred option.
💡 We strongly advise having 2-step verification enabled to strengthen security and prevent unauthorized access to your account.
Authenticator app
Set up verification with the authenticator application in 3 quick steps:
Download and install the authenticator app if you don't have it yet.
Open the app and scan the QR code from your screen.
Enter a one-time code generated by your authenticator app.
💡 Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy are the most commonly used apps, but you can use any other at your preference.
Code by text message
Another verification option is via a one-time SMS code sent to your phone.
Enter your mobile phone number.
Confirm your phone number by entering a 6-digit code from SMS.
The same process is available to get code by phone call.
Recovery codes
Upon enabling 2-step verification, you also get recovery codes. They can be used as an alternative verification method if you're unable to use any of the previously set-up methods.
To view current codes, click View. Here you can save your codes anew in case they're lost and generate new ones when needed.
💡 Upon generating new codes, they replace the old ones.
