The whole AdsPower team has been helping you take care of your data and accounts for years. Today we want to remind you of the importance of taking all safety precautions when using our browser. Extra security often seems to be just a burden with little benefit. We urge you to take some time and secure your valuable resources as much as possible.
We help you minimize the risks of bans and restrictions on different platforms. At the same time, the value of your personal AdsPower account increases dramatically. Remember that it is a valuable asset and do not neglect security issues.
What can I do to keep my AdsPower account secure?
First, let's look at the available options in "Global Settings". Go to Management → Global Settings → Account security. Here you can:
1) Set up two-factor authentication. Turn on "Two-Step Verification" to require verification for selected sensitive actions. Verification can be completed through an authenticator app, email, or SMS.
This method is slightly different from the common authentication using Google Authenticator and slightly less secure but much more convenient.
Important: Don't forget to set different passwords for accounts on different sites!
2) Add the IPs that you access your account to the IP Allowlist. Turn on "Login IP Allowlist" and enter the IP addresses or IP ranges your team members can log in from. This restriction applies to members, but it does not affect the owner's login.
3) Set the login notification from another device. To do so, please turn on the "Remote login reminder" function. A reminder email will be sent when your account is accessed from a new IP address that is outside your three commonly used IPs.
4) Turn on "Failed login attempt alert." An email alert will be sent to the account owner's email address after more than three failed login attempts. If you receive an alert, please verify whether the attempts came from you or your team.
Please note that the letter must come from an official AdsPower mailbox! It will look like this:
Then verify your browser startup settings, and go to Management → Global Settings → Browser Settings. Under "On startup," you can adjust several settings to help protect your accounts and browser data:
- Only open the browser with an available proxy. This prevents a profile from opening when its assigned proxy is not working.
- Only open the browser after saved data is successfully loaded. If you use cloud data sync, this feature helps prevent you from working with incomplete data when a network problem stops it from loading.
- Check the country or region before opening a profile. Turn on this option to stop a profile from opening if its country or region differs from the previous session. This check is skipped when the Rotating Proxy region is set to Global.
- Turn on "Secure access." AdsPower will use HTTPS whenever possible and warn you before opening a non-HTTPS website. Review the website carefully before choosing to continue.
You can also choose which cache data to delete when opening a profile. Use this option carefully, as deleting cookies or other saved data may sign you out or remove information you still need.
The next step is to set all the necessary settings in the Management section.
1) Start by creating a group. The same functions will be available within one group.
If you uncheck the "Team Management" checkbox, then all members of that group will not have access to this menu item.
You can also turn off a separate feature, such as "Delete profiles" in the settings menu, to prevent accidental or intentional deletion of account information.
2) You can reset the password for one particular team member if you think there may have been a problem with the security of his account. A new automatically generated password will be sent to his email. In the same way you can periodically update passwords for all users if you feel the need to do so.
In the "Operation Log" menu, you can keep track of any unusual actions that have been performed by all team members, and immediately detect any irregularities.
AdsPower from all directions takes measures to protect your accounts, one of which is protection against multiple login attempts.
Another point should be to pay extra attention when logging in.
Once again, make sure that your password is secure enough. Avoid both simple passwords and repetitive passwords with other sites. Change your password to a new or more complex one if you haven't already done so.
We hope that this article is useful to you and that you do take some time for your own safety so that you can save yourself time and money in the future. Don't forget to take care of yourself the way we try to take care of you! Be careful when you visit our website or social networks; avoid phishing sites and fake accounts.
