Account & Security

Manage 2FA, update team permissions, reset passwords, and secure your data.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

To protect your business from unauthorized access, we strongly recommend enabling 2FA. NextGen supports both SMS text messages and Authenticator apps (like Google Authenticator or Authy).

How to enable 2FA:

  1. Log into your NextGen dashboard and click Settings.
  2. Navigate to the Security tab.
  3. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
  4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app and enter the 6-digit code.

Resetting Your Password

If you have forgotten your password, you can request a secure reset link from the login screen.

Click the "Forgot Password?" link below the login form. Enter the email address associated with your NextGen account. If a matching account is found, we will email you a temporary, time-sensitive link to create a new password. For security reasons, this link expires after 15 minutes.

Securing Your API Keys

Your Secret API keys (`sk_live_...`) can perform any action on your account without restriction. They should never be hardcoded into your frontend application, mobile app, or committed to GitHub.

Best Practices:

  • Store your Secret keys in environment variables (`.env`).
  • If you suspect a key has been compromised, immediately click Roll Key in your dashboard to generate a new one and invalidate the old one.
