Protect your account with a strong password, two-step sign-in and session control
Change your password, turn on two-step sign-in with recovery codes, sign out other sessions and revoke account API keys.
Your Console account controls your databases, so protect it. Open Account Security from the account menu (top right) or the sidebar, or go to console.pgbhub.com/account.
Change your password
- Under Change Password, choose Update Console Password.
- Enter your Current Password, a New Password (at least 10 characters) and Confirm Password.
- Choose Save New Password.
Changing your password signs out every other browser, and you sign in again here with the new one.
Turn on two-step sign-in
The Two-factor authentication row says whether it is on. To turn it on:
- Choose Turn on.
- Scan the QR code with an authenticator app. If you cannot scan, use Open in authenticator app or Can't scan? Enter this key manually.
- Type the 6-digit code from your app into 6-digit code from your authenticator app and choose Confirm.
- Save your emergency recovery codes. They are shown once. Use Download as .txt, keep the file somewhere you can reach without your phone, then choose Done.
From now on, signing in asks for a code after the password. If you lose your authenticator, you can use a recovery code (each works once) or, if offered, an emailed single-use code. See Sign in, reset a password and use two-step sign-in.
New recovery codes and turning it off
- New recovery codes invalidates every code you had and creates a fresh set. You must enter a current code from your app or an existing recovery code first, and confirm Yes, replace my codes. The page also shows how many codes you have left.
- Turn off asks for a current code. Only turn it off if you must; it protects you from a stolen password.
Sign out other sessions
Choose Sign out other sessions to end every other browser's session for your account, for example after using a shared computer. You stay signed in here. The mobile app has Sign out everywhere, which also ends other phones.
Account API keys
The same page lists account-level API keys for SDKs and AI tools. Revoke all API keys disables every one on your account in one step; apps using them stop until you give them new keys. For creating and scoping keys, see API keys.
Regional and timezone preferences
Under Regional & Timezone Preferences you can set your Country / Region, your Account & Backup Timezone and the default timezone applied to newly created databases, then choose Save Regional Preferences. Auto-detect Timezone fills them from your browser.
Good to know
- Use a password manager and a different password for every service.
- A teammate cannot read your recovery codes. Only you see them, once.
- If you are locked out and have no recovery codes, contact support.
- Roles are managed on a different page. See Invite teammates and choose roles.
