Account security, authentication, and data protection

Security

Samvise takes your security seriously. Learn about authentication options, security features, and best practices to keep your account safe.

Account Authentication

Sign In Methods

Google Sign-In

  • Secure OAuth authentication with your Google account
  • No separate password to remember
  • Protected by your Google account's own security (including any two-step verification you have enabled there)

Email and Password

  • Traditional authentication
  • Password must be at least 8 characters
  • Password reset available from the login page

Email One-Time Code

  • Choose "Email me a code" on the login page
  • We email a 6-digit code to your account's address; enter it to sign in
  • Codes expire after an hour, and you can request a new one about once a minute
  • Only works for existing accounts - creating an account still requires an invite during the private beta

Password Tips

  • Use a unique password for Samvise
  • Don't reuse passwords from other sites
  • Use a password manager
  • Change it if you suspect compromise

Sessions

  • Click your profile icon > Sign Out
  • Ends your session on that device

Shared Computers

  • Always sign out when you're done
  • Don't save your password in a shared browser

Data Encryption

In Transit

At Rest

Data is encrypted in the database, with industry-standard practices for backups and key management.
