Trusted Devices

Trusted devices let you skip the 2FA verification step on devices you use regularly. When you mark a device as trusted, you won’t be asked for a verification code on that device for 30 days.

How It Works

1. During sign-in, after entering your 2FA code, check Remember this device for 30 days
2. Akol creates a secure cookie on your browser that identifies the device
3. On your next sign-in from that device, 2FA is skipped automatically
4. After 30 days, you’ll be asked for a 2FA code again

What Gets Stored

Each trusted device record includes:

Managing Trusted Devices

View and manage your trusted devices in Dashboard > Settings > Security.

Viewing Devices

Your trusted devices list shows all currently active devices with their names, last used dates, and expiration dates.

Revoking a Single Device

1. Find the device in your trusted devices list
2. Click Revoke
3. The device is removed immediately

Your next sign-in from that device will require a 2FA code.

Revoking All Devices

1. Click Revoke All Devices
2. Confirm the action

All trusted devices are removed. Every future sign-in will require a 2FA code until you trust devices again.

When to Revoke Devices

• Lost or stolen device — Immediately revoke it so no one can bypass 2FA
• Shared computer — Revoke trust after using a shared or public computer
• Security concern — If you suspect unauthorized access, revoke all devices
• Changed network — After switching to a new office or home network

Tips

1. Only trust personal devices — Don’t trust shared or public computers
2. Review regularly — Check your trusted devices list periodically and remove any you don’t recognize
3. Revoke when in doubt — It only takes one extra step to re-verify with 2FA
