The Access Code allows your members to quickly view your directory without needing an individual email or password. Follow these steps to enable this feature for your organization:
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Log In: Sign in to your Admin account.
- Go to Settings: Click the Gear Icon in the upper right-hand corner.
- Navigate to Directory: Click on the Directory tab within the Settings menu.
- Click on Shared Access Code (near the bottom of the menu.)
- Accept Terms: Read and accept the Terms of Use. You must check this box to enable the feature.
- Set Your Code: Enter your chosen code and save.
Note: The system will automatically convert your code to ALL CAPS. It is not case-sensitive, so members can type it in however they like and it will work!
Maintaining a Secure Directory
To keep your members’ information safe, we recommend following these best practices for managing your access code:
-
Update Periodically: Consider changing your access code every 6 to 12 months. Since members may leave your organization over time, updating the code ensures that only current members have access.
-
Emergency Updates: If you suspect the code has been leaked to an outsider or someone who shouldn’t have it, change it immediately. * Instant Session Termination: The moment you update your code, all active sessions using the old code are terminated. Users will be logged out and must enter the new code to regain access.
-
Disable Anytime: If you decide this login method isn’t right for your group, Admins can completely disable the feature at any time using the toggle in the settings menu.
Choosing a Secure Code
Avoid simple patterns like 123456. Since special characters are not allowed, use a strong mix of letters and numbers.
