Keep your account secure
Your password, passkeys, second steps, recovery codes and security emails.
Sign-in & security is where you choose how you sign in to Zym Labs: a password, passkeys, and a second step after your password. The safest setup is a passkey, plus recovery codes in case you lose it. Everything here applies to every Zym Labs product, because they share your account.
Open it from your name in the header: choose Sign-in & security.
How it works
- Password. Optional if you sign in with a passkey. Change password or Set a password.
- Two-step verification asks for a second step after your password, or replaces both with a passkey. The methods:
| Method | What it is |
|---|---|
| Passkey | Sign in with your fingerprint, face or screen lock. The most secure option. |
| Security key | A physical key you plug in or tap after your password. |
| Authenticator app | A 6-digit code from an app such as 1Password or Google Authenticator. |
| Text message | A code sent to your phone. |
| Email code | A code sent to your email address. |
- Recovery codes get you in if you lose your other methods. Make them once and keep them somewhere safe.
- Security emails. We always email you when your password or two-step verification changes. Email me when someone signs in from a new browser adds an email for every new browser.
Adding or changing a method happens on the Zym Labs sign-in page, then brings you back here.
Add a passkey
Start
On Sign-in & security, choose Add a passkey.
Create it
Your device asks for your fingerprint, face or screen lock and saves the passkey, often in your password manager or your phone's keychain. Choose Create a passkey.
Sign in with it next time
On the sign-in page, choose Sign in with a passkey. There's nothing to type.
Add a second passkey on another device, or make recovery codes with Make codes, so losing one device doesn't lock you out.
Rules that keep you from locking yourself out
- If your organization requires two-step verification, you can't remove your last method. Add another first.
- If you're an organization owner, you keep at least one passkey: it's how you sign in if your company's single sign-on stops working.
- Removing a method asks you to confirm it's you first.
If your company signs you in
If your organization signs you in with its identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta, this page says You sign in with your provider. Your company manages your password and two-step verification there, so there's nothing to set up here. If you can't sign in, contact your company's IT team.
