Keeping your account secure

Topic 3 of 3

Because your account is the way into every workspace you belong to, it is worth protecting carefully. Whoever can sign in as you can see and change all the work you can reach. The account is a key, and your screens are the building it opens.

No password to steal

Screenly does not use passwords. There is no password on your account to guess, reuse, or have exposed by a breach somewhere else. The most common way accounts are compromised, a password leaked from one service and tried on another, has nothing to work against here.

Instead, signing in happens through something you already control: a one-time code sent to your email, a passkey stored on your device, or your existing Google, GitHub, or Microsoft account. Each sign-in is fresh. Nothing is stored on Screenly’s side that an attacker could use to get in.

An extra layer

For accounts that want more protection beyond the sign-in method itself, Screenly supports two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, a code from your authenticator app is required at every sign-in, so a stolen session or a compromised email alone is not enough to get in.

Single sign-on for organizations

In larger organizations, this is usually not left to each person to manage individually. Screenly supports single sign-on through SAML, which connects sign-in to the company’s own identity system.

When SSO is in place, signing in to Screenly runs through the same login as everything else the company uses. Multi-factor authentication is enforced by the identity provider, so the company’s MFA policy covers Screenly without any extra configuration.
