Secure Login - Big Plan
Login Overview
Logging in is the first step to accessing personalized features and content. The process is designed to be quick, secure, and user‑friendly. Users enter their registered email address and a unique password. Optional two‑factor authentication (2FA) can be enabled for added protection.
Create an Account
- Sign‑up – Fill out the registration form with your name, email, and a strong password.
- Email verification – A confirmation link is sent to your inbox. Clicking it activates the account.
- Profile setup – Once verified, you can add a profile picture, set preferences, and link social accounts if desired.
Password Tips
Creating a robust password is crucial. Consider the following:
- Length: Aim for at least 12 characters.
- Complexity: Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
- Uniqueness: Never reuse passwords across sites.
- Password manager: Store credentials securely and generate random passwords.
Security Features
- HTTPS Everywhere – All data transmission is encrypted with TLS.
- Salted & hashed passwords – User passwords are never stored in plain text.
- Brute‑force protection – After a set number of failed attempts, the account is temporarily locked.
- Session timeout – Inactivity triggers automatic logout to prevent unauthorized access.
- Account recovery – A secure process for resetting passwords without exposing sensitive data.
