Before you start
- This reference follows current LINK42 pages and permissions. Feature flags, roles, quotas and upstream state govern availability; changing a URL or model name does not bypass authorization.
Profile and sign-in
Review nickname, email, locale and region in Profile. Email changes need verification; region affects eligible payment/compliance options without guaranteeing a channel.
| Function / field | Action and purpose | Verification and boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Nickname / locale / region | Edit only needed fields and save | Refresh to confirm; region is not a provider-routing switch. |
| Email verification | Complete email verification | Never share verification codes. |
| Password | Use security settings | OAuth-only accounts may need initial password setup; keys are not passwords. |
| OAuth / SSO | Use enabled sign-in methods | Disabled methods are not integrations; SSO follows organization policy. |
MFA, passkeys and recovery
Retain a usable sign-in method before adding/removing factors. Sensitive changes may require reauthentication.
| Function / field | Action and purpose | Verification and boundary |
|---|---|---|
| TOTP | Bind and verify an authenticator | Keep recovery codes private; do not publish seed/QR/code screenshots. |
| Passkey | Register on a supported device/browser | Device authentication is not biometric data upload to LINK42. |
| Recovery codes | Recover a lost second factor | Respect one-time/expiry rules and store securely. |
| Session revocation | Revoke unused devices | Check the current-session marker; revoked devices sign in again. |
Privacy, consent and closure
Security and account closure are not completed by an assistant's statement; follow authentication and confirmation requirements.
| Function / field | Action and purpose | Verification and boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Consent | Review current versions and required consent | Documentation does not accept agreements on your behalf. |
| Export / closure | Use enabled account controls | Review retention and open tasks; no immediate total-erasure guarantee. |
| Suspicious login | Review devices, time and usage | Share sanitized evidence, not passwords, cookies or OTPs. |
