Straightforward Security On Permission.io
2FA: what it is, when you need it, and when you don’t!
Permission.io Will Always Take Your Security Seriously
It is one our foundational values, after all. For the individual member we enforce a minimum length on account passwords, no more than one device/browsing session at a time, and we will require Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to access your wallet when the Permission Blockchain moves to mainnet.
This keeps your tokens from falling into someone else’s hands. If you’re new to Permission, or have questions about 2FA, click here to learn how to set it up.
You No Longer Need 2FA To Login
We are all too aware that 2FA has a learning curve. We will continue to educate our members about it so everyone is primed and ready when it’s time to secure their Permission wallets. Below is a simple breakdown of our current security features.
Use Your Password For:
- Logging in to Permission.io
- Updating your Permission profile data
- Changing certain account settings
When We Move to Mainnet, You’ll Use Your 2FA Code For:
- Accessing your Permission wallet
- Authorizing ASK transactions
- Withdrawing
Things to Keep in Mind
When you do setup Two-Factor Authentication on your device, you MUST download your Permission.io 2FA “Secret” key. This will be a 40-character-long code. We also recommend writing it down on a separate device. Should you lose access to your 2FA codes (i.e. misplace the device, reset it, or unintentionally delete your 2FA app) your Passkey is the ONLY WAY you can get back into your Permission account.
Let’s go over that one more time. Your Permission.io “Secret” key is a 40-character long code that will be given to you during 2FA setup, and it is the only way for you to regain access to your account and your ASK, should you misplace or delete your 2FA application.
To further boost security, we now only allow a single login session. For instance, if you are logged in to Permission.io on your mobile device, then later log in via a computer, you will be logged out of the other system.
Permission.io is creating a new digital advertising model built purely on permission between advertisers and consumers. With complete transparency, advertisers and consumers can now forge trusted relationships that were unavailable through the legacy models of interruption and exploitation.
