Key takeaways

  • Turn on login 2FA via email so new devices need a code.
  • Review your trusted devices and revoke anything you do not recognise.
  • Use Log out everywhere if you think someone else has access.

Use a strong password

Sharklio passwords need at least 10 characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, a number, and a special character, and they cannot contain your email address. The strength meter shows when a password is good enough. Changing your password logs out your other devices.

Sign in with Google

You can link a Google account under Account and log in with one click. You can also switch to a different Google account later. To unlink Google, set a password first so you can still log in.

Turn on login 2FA via email

With login verification on, every login from a new device needs a 6-digit code sent to your email. Turning it on trusts the device you are using and logs out every other device. Turning it off needs a code as well, so nobody can switch it off with only your password.

Trusted devices

When you enter a login code, you can trust that device for a year so it does not ask again. Your account page lists each trusted device with its browser and system, a partly hidden IP address, when it was added, and when it expires. Revoke one device or all of them at any time, and they will ask for a code at the next login.

If something looks wrong

  1. Change your password, or set one if you only use Google.
  2. Use Log out everywhere on your account page.
  3. Revoke every trusted device, then turn on login 2FA via email.
  4. Contact [email protected] and tell us what you noticed.

Every security change, such as a new trusted device or a linked Google account, also appears in your notifications.
