1). Use end-to-end encryption for authentication

The authentication system of easyy.click is different from traditional softwares, by using end-to-end encryption, your password never leaves your decide, see details here.

2). 2FA

You can add another layer of security by enabling 2FA, every time you login, you not only need email and password, but also a 1 time code from your authenticator app, personally I am using ente auth from ente. This is how you enable it:

  1. Go to account → Security → 2-Factor Authentication;

  2. Click “Generate your secret“, you will get a QR code;

  3. Scan this QR code with your authenticator app;

  4. Enter the 1 time code in your authenticator app to the “Code“ field;

  5. Click “Enable 2-Factor Authentication“, then it’s enabled’

From now on, you need your authenticator app whenever you login to easyy.click

Make sure your authenticator app is secure, and you remember its password carefully.

3). Disable 2FA

If you want to disable the 2FA, do this:

  1. Go to account → Security → 2-Factor Authentication;

  2. Enter a 1 time code in your authenticator app to the “Code“ field;

  3. Click “Disable 2-Factor Authentication“, then it’s disabled;

  4. Delete the “easyy.click“ item from your authenticator app;
