Security

Your platform includes built-in protection to keep accounts safe, along with a clean way to delete an account and a view of how your audience is growing.

Protection against repeated failed sign-ins

To stop someone guessing a password, your platform watches for repeated wrong attempts:

• Too many wrong tries temporarily locks the account. The person simply waits and tries again later.
• The wait grows with each new round of failures, so guessing becomes slower and slower.
• Abusive sources are blocked for a while when they show clearly bad behavior.
• A successful sign-in clears it — once the right password (or code) goes in, things return to normal.

This all happens automatically. There's nothing to switch on.

Account deletion

A person can delete their own account whenever they choose.

• They'll be asked to confirm with their password. (If they only ever used social sign-in and never set a password, no password is needed.)
• All of their signed-in devices are signed out immediately.
• The account moves to a deleted state — hidden from view, with the record kept for a short while before final cleanup.

See the account statuses for how "deleted" fits with the other states.

Growth stats

As an admin, you can see how your audience is growing — totals and trends over time. It's a quick way to track how many people are joining and how that's changing.

You'll find these in your admin dashboards alongside your other reports.
