Authentication Methods

Secure and Convenient Access with Passwordless Login

n2x.io prioritizes user experience and security by utilizing a passwordless authentication method. This approach eliminates the need for traditional passwords, providing a more streamlined and secure way to access the n2x.io webUI and CLI (n2xctl).

Passwordless authentication strengthens security by removing dependence on vulnerable passwords, which are susceptible to attacks like phishing, brute force, and credential stuffing. n2x.io leverages One-Time Passwords (OTPs) to achieve this. When logging in, a unique temporary code is sent to your registered email address. This code can only be used for a single login session and expires after 10 minutes, adding an extra layer of protection.

Simplify API Access with User Access Tokens

n2x.io offers User Access Tokens as an alternative to passwordless authentication. These tokens provide a secure and controlled way to access the n2x.io platform API on behalf of a user.

Benefits of User Access Tokens:

  • Enhanced Security: Tokens eliminate the need for traditional passwords, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

  • Streamlined Automation: Automate tasks and background processes using tokens, without requiring repeated user logins.

  • Flexible Integrations: Integrate your tools or external services with the n2x.io platform seamlessly through tokens.

Common Use Cases:

  • Automate repetitive tasks or background processes.

  • Integrate your custom tools or external services with the n2x.io platform API.

Generating and Managing User Access Tokens

You can easily generate and manage your User Access Tokens within the n2x.io webUI.

Simply navigate to the User Settings section and click on Regenerate Token.
