By default, you can sign in to your admin dashboard from any internet connection. If you want an extra layer of protection, you can add a list of trusted IP addresses. After that, [only connections on that list can open your admin dashboard].

An IP address is the number that identifies the internet connection you’re using right now, like 123.45.67.89<\/span>. Your home Wi-Fi, your office Wi-Fi and your phone’s mobile data each have a different one.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Who should use this?

This feature is optional, and most site owners don’t need it. It’s a good fit if:
– You always manage your academy from one fixed place, such as an office with a business internet line.
– Several people share your admin account and you want to limit where it can be used.
– Your provider has given you a static (unchanging) IP address.

Skip it if you manage your site from home Wi-Fi, from your phone, or while traveling. Those connections change IP often, and you’d have to update the list every time. A strong, unique admin password protects you well in those cases.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Removing an IP

Go back to Settings<\/span> \u2192 Security<\/span>, find the address in the trusted list, and click remove<\/span> at the end of its row. The change takes effect immediately. [If you remove every address, admin access returns to normal \u2014 anyone with your password can sign in.]<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
