Security e-mails about your account

We e-mail you when your password, two-factor sign-in, a passkey or your account's e-mail address changes — and the previous address too — so a change you did not make never goes unnoticed.

We e-mail you whenever something that protects your sign-in changes, so that a change you did not make never goes unnoticed.

Which changes do you e-mail me about?

  • Your password was changed.
  • Two-factor sign-in was turned on or removed — an authenticator app was added to or removed
  • from your account.

  • A passkey was added or removed.
  • The e-mail address on your account was changed. We write to the new address and to the
  • previous one, because the previous address is the one somebody who took over your account does not control.

Each e-mail says what changed, when (in UTC) and the IP address the change came from. It arrives within a few minutes of the change.

Can I switch these e-mails off?

No. They are security notices, so they are always sent — a notice you could switch off is one somebody who got into your account could switch off too. They go only to you, never to the other people in your organisation.

I set my password when I created my account. Why did I not get one?

Setting your first password when you sign up is not a change, so it is not reported. Every change after that is.

I did not make this change — what do I do?

  1. Reset your password straight away from the sign-in page (Forgot password?).
  2. Turn on two-factor sign-in once you are back in.
  3. Reply to the security e-mail. It goes to our support team, who will help you check your account.

How do I know an e-mail is really from us?

Every e-mail we send carries our name and logo at the top, and its button and links lead to your own dashboard's address. If in doubt, do not use the e-mail's links: open your dashboard yourself and check Settings.
