Account Security
Protect your Inkress merchant account with modern authentication methods including passkeys and two-factor authentication.
Why Account Security Matters
As a merchant handling financial transactions, your Inkress account is a valuable target for attackers. Protecting your account with strong authentication methods helps prevent:
- Unauthorized access to your payment dashboard and customer data
- Fraudulent changes to your payout settings or bank accounts
- Unauthorized refunds or transaction manipulation
- Reputational damage from compromised accounts
Available Security Features
Inkress offers multiple layers of security to protect your account. We recommend enabling at least one additional authentication method beyond your password.
Passkeys
The most secure and convenient way to sign in. Use your device's biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello) or password manager to authenticate.
Two-Factor Authentication
Add an extra layer of security with time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). Works with popular authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Authy.
Which Should I Choose?
| Feature | Passkeys | 2FA (TOTP) |
|---|---|---|
| Phishing resistant | Partial | |
| No codes to enter | — | |
| Works without smartphone | — | |
| Syncs across devices | ||
| Works offline | ||
| Ease of setup | Very Easy | Moderate |
Security Best Practices
Use a unique, strong password
Even with 2FA enabled, use a password you don't use anywhere else. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords.
Register multiple passkeys
Add passkeys from multiple devices (phone, laptop, security key) so you can still access your account if one device is lost or broken.
Save your 2FA recovery codes
When setting up 2FA, you'll receive recovery codes. Store these in a secure location (not on the same device as your authenticator app).
Review your active sessions
Periodically check your account for unfamiliar sessions or devices and revoke access to any you don't recognize.
