Chapter 4: Security features
Login with single-use codes
Intuitive Password provides the Single-Use Codes feature as a secure option for accessing your account on untrusted public computers, where the risk of keyloggers or other malicious software capturing your login information is a concern. Single-use codes are unique codes that can be used only once to log in to your Intuitive Password account. By utilizing this feature, you can protect your account from potential keylogger threats and ensure the security of your sensitive information. To create and manage your single-use codes, follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Generating single-use codes
- Click on the "Features" panel located on the left-hand side of the screen. In the Features panel, locate and select the "Single-Use Codes" option from the dropdown list.
- If you wish to generate a list of single-use codes, enter the desired number of codes in the designated field, then click on the "Generate" button to generate the requested number of codes.
- These generated codes are unique and can be used only once for logging in to your Intuitive Password account.
Clearing single-use codes
If you already have a list of single-use codes and want to clear them all, click on the "Delete All" button. This action will remove all existing codes from your account.
Using single-use codes
- On the login page, enter your email address in the provided field as the first step of the login process.
- Instead of entering your password, enter one of the generated single-use codes in the password field during the login process.
By utilizing single-use codes, you add an extra layer of security to your Intuitive Password account when accessing it from untrusted public computers. Even if a keylogger were to capture your single-use code, it would be rendered useless as it can only be used for a single login attempt. This feature helps safeguard your account and ensures that your sensitive information remains protected.
It is important to note that you need to be logged into your Intuitive Password account to manage your single-use codes. This feature provides you with control and flexibility, allowing you to regenerate a new list of codes or clear existing ones whenever necessary.
