The Informer Security Center provides you with insights into the security settings of the users within your account.

Security Settings

Two-Factor Authentication

As the account administrator, you can require users to enable two-factor authentication. This adds an extra layer of security to the login process, requiring an authentication code in addition to the usual three fields.

IP Address Security

As the account administrator, you can also block new IP addresses by default. This means that any user logging in from a new IP address for the first time must validate the IP address before logging in. This prevents users from logging in from any location without prior validation.

General Functioning of the Security Center

The Security Center also provides insights into the following information:

  • Name: which users have been added;

  • Type: the type of user;

    • Employee

    • Administrator

    • Accountant

  • Last Login: the user's last login;

  • Email: the user's registered email address;

  • Two-Factor: has the user enabled two-factor authentication?

  • Passkey: has the user set up a Passkey?

  • Block IP: must the user validate a new IP address before logging in?

  • Email Check: is the user's registered email address listed in a data breach?

Note: The data breach check is performed by "Have I Been Pwned."

For more information about the checks conducted, you can visit the Have I Been Pwned website.

Access for the Informer Helpdesk

The Security Center also offers the ability to grant the Informer helpdesk permission to access your administration. In case of issues, the helpdesk can work with you to find a solution.

You can grant permission here and revoke it at any time.

After being active for one month, the permission will automatically expire.

This functionality is further detailed in the help item How do I grant access to my account to the helpdesk?
