Purpose

Use this page to manage the security of your own AquaOps account — password, two-factor authentication (2FA), connected accounts, and active sessions/devices. This is personal account security, not an organization-wide setting: every signed-in user manages their own.

Best for

  • setting or changing your password
  • enrolling in two-factor authentication
  • reviewing and signing out other active sessions
  • reviewing your account’s connected sign-in methods

Who can access this page

Go to:
Unlike most of Settings, this page has no permission requirement — every signed-in user can see and use it, since it only manages their own account. It’s grouped under Account in Settings, alongside Notifications and Kiosk PIN, rather than under Organization.

What’s on the page

The page embeds Clerk’s account profile component directly, with its default Security tab. Depending on what’s enabled for your account, this includes:
  • Password — set or change your password
  • Two-step verification — enroll or manage an authenticator app (TOTP) for two-factor authentication
  • Active devices — see sessions currently signed in and sign out individual ones remotely
  • your account’s connected sign-in methods and email addresses (under the Account side of the same component)

Enabling two-factor authentication

1

Open Security

Go to Settings > Security.
2

Start two-step verification

Find Two-step verification and choose to add an authenticator app.
3

Scan the QR code

Scan the code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, or similar). If you can’t scan it, use the manual entry key shown alongside it.
4

Confirm with a code

Enter the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app to confirm enrollment.
5

Sign in with your second factor

From your next sign-in onward, you’ll be asked for a code from your authenticator app after your password.
AquaOps nudges accounts that hold org:manage to enroll in two-factor authentication, since those accounts have the broadest access — organization settings, user and permission management, and billing. Enrollment is encouraged, not required: there’s no lockout if you skip it, and no other account type is nudged. Once you do enroll, entering a code at each sign-in is just how two-factor authentication works, not an extra AquaOps-specific step.

Managing active sessions

The Active devices section lists sessions currently signed in to your account (browser/device, and when it was last active). You can sign out a specific session remotely from there without changing your password — useful if you signed in on a shared or borrowed device and forgot to sign out.

Turning off two-factor authentication

From the same Two-step verification section, you can remove your authenticator app to turn 2FA off. If your account holds org:manage, expect to see the enrollment nudge again on your next visit, since it reappears until you re-enroll.

What’s not on this page

  • Kiosk PIN sign-in is separate and managed from Settings > Kiosk PIN, not here — it’s unaffected by your password or 2FA settings.
  • There’s no organization-wide toggle to require 2FA for all users; enrollment is a per-account choice (nudged, not enforced, for org:manage accounts).

Best practices

  • enroll in two-factor authentication if you hold org:manage, even though it’s only nudged
  • use a real authenticator app rather than skipping the QR step, since backup/recovery relies on it being set up correctly the first time
  • review Active devices occasionally and sign out anything you don’t recognize or no longer use
  • don’t share your password or authenticator setup between accounts — each user should enroll their own
