Password Settings

Password Requirements

TeleSender enforces these password requirements:

Requirement	Minimum
Length	8 characters
Confirmation	Must match

Recommended password practices:

• Use 12+ characters for better security
• Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
• Avoid common words or personal information
• Don't reuse passwords from other sites
• Consider using a password manager

Changing Your Password

1. Go to Settings → Password
2. Enter your Current Password
3. Enter your New Password
4. Enter your new password again in Confirm Password
5. Click "Update Password"

After changing your password:

• You remain logged in on your current device
• Other sessions may be logged out
• Chrome extension may require re-authentication
• Use the new password for future logins

Forgot Your Current Password?

If you can't remember your current password, log out and use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra security layer by requiring a verification code in addition to your password.

Why Enable 2FA?

• Extra Security: Even if your password is compromised, attackers can't access your account
• Peace of Mind: Know that your account and subscription are protected
• Industry Best Practice: Recommended for any account with financial information

Setting Up 2FA

Step 1: Access 2FA Settings

1. Go to Settings → Two-Factor Authentication
2. You may need to confirm your password first
3. Click "Enable Two-Factor Authentication"

Step 2: Install an Authenticator App

Download an authenticator app on your phone:

App	Platform	Free
Google Authenticator	iOS, Android	Yes
Microsoft Authenticator	iOS, Android	Yes
Authy	iOS, Android, Desktop	Yes
1Password	iOS, Android, Mac, Windows	Paid

Step 3: Scan the QR Code

1. Open your authenticator app
2. Tap "Add Account" or the "+" button
3. Select "Scan QR Code"
4. Point your camera at the QR code displayed on screen

Can't scan? Click "Manual Entry" to get a text code you can type into your app.

Step 4: Verify Setup

1. Your authenticator app now shows a 6-digit code
2. Enter this code in the verification field
3. Click "Verify and Enable"

Step 5: Save Backup Codes

After enabling 2FA, you'll receive backup codes:

1. Save these immediately — they're shown only once
2. Store them securely (password manager, safe location)
3. Each backup code can only be used once
4. Use them if you lose access to your authenticator

Critical: Save Your Backup Codes

If you lose your phone and don't have backup codes, you may permanently lose access to your account. Store these codes safely before closing the setup dialog.

Logging In with 2FA

After enabling 2FA, login works like this:

1. Enter your email and password as usual
2. You're prompted for a verification code
3. Open your authenticator app
4. Enter the current 6-digit code (it changes every 30 seconds)
5. Click "Verify"

Using Backup Codes

If you can't access your authenticator app:

1. On the verification code screen, click "Use Backup Code"
2. Enter one of your saved backup codes
3. You'll be logged in
4. Important: That backup code is now invalid

Running Low on Backup Codes?

After logging in, regenerate new backup codes from the 2FA settings page.

Disabling 2FA

If you need to turn off two-factor authentication:

1. Go to Settings → Two-Factor Authentication
2. Confirm your password
3. Click "Disable Two-Factor Authentication"
4. Confirm the action

When to disable:

• Switching to a new phone (disable, then re-enable with new phone)
• Moving to a different authenticator app
• Troubleshooting login issues

Security Impact

Disabling 2FA makes your account less secure. Only disable temporarily when necessary, and re-enable as soon as possible.

Troubleshooting 2FA

"Invalid Code" Error

• Ensure your phone's time is set automatically (Settings → Date & Time → Automatic)
• Wait for the code to refresh (codes change every 30 seconds)
• Make sure you're looking at the correct account in your app

Lost Access to Authenticator

1. Use a backup code to log in
2. Disable 2FA in settings
3. Re-enable with your new device

No Backup Codes and No Authenticator

1. Contact support@tele-sender.com
2. Provide account verification information
3. Support will guide you through account recovery
