Authentication & Account Security

GN-Apex protects your account with multi-layered security safeguards—including one-time email verification codes, brute-force lockout shields, and instant alerts whenever your workspace is accessed from an unfamiliar device.

AUTOMATED DEFENSE
5 Attempts
15-Minute Protection Shield

Suspicious sign-in attempts automatically trigger a temporary account lock and an immediate security warning email.

Proactive Account Protection

The Sign-Up & Onboarding Flow

Creating a new workspace takes less than two minutes:

1
Register at /signup

Enter your official work email and choose a strong password (minimum 8 characters).

2
Verify via 6-Digit Email Code

Check your inbox for a verification code. Enter the 6 digits on screen to activate your account. The code expires in 15 minutes for your protection.

3
Configure Your Profile

Add your name, profile photo, and job title so your teammates can identify you across project comments and shared inboxes.

4
Create or Join a Workspace

Name your organization (e.g. Kipazi Foods Ltd) and pick your operational workspace mode (General, Education, Non-Profit, or E-Commerce).

Automated Account Safeguards

Your account is protected around the clock by these built-in systems:

DEFENSE / ONE-TIME PASSWORDS

Email Verification Codes

6-digit verification codes protect every new account creation and team invitation to prevent unauthorized access.

DEFENSE / DEVICE INTELLIGENCE

New Device Sign-In Alerts

Get an immediate email alert with device, browser, and approximate location details whenever your account is accessed from a new computer or phone.

DEFENSE / BRUTE-FORCE SHIELD

5-Attempt Lockout Protection

Repeated incorrect passwords trigger a 15-minute freeze and an alert email with options to reset your password immediately.

DEFENSE / SESSION CONTROL

Active Device Management

View all active computers and phones logged into your account in Settings → Security, and disconnect any unfamiliar sessions with one click.

5-Attempt Security Lockout

To protect against password guessing tools, entering an incorrect password 5 times in a row automatically locks your account for 15 minutes.

What happens during a lockout?
You will immediately receive an email notification titled “🔒 Account Temporarily Locked” showing the IP address and time of the attempts. You can wait 15 minutes for the automatic cooldown or click Reset Password in the email to unlock your account immediately.

Password Recovery

If you ever forget your password, click Forgot Password? on the login screen at /login. A secure, single-use reset link will be sent to your email. The link remains valid for 1 hour and automatically terminates all other active logins once your new password is set.
