Introduction

Account Chief, sometimes lovingly called the Mothership, is the central hub where Chief Tools manages your login, team and billing information and shares information to the other Chief Tools if required.

Sign-in

There are multiple ways to sign-in to Chief Tools and option to secure your account.

Username and password

With Chief Tools your username is your e-mail adddress, you can change the e-mail address used in your profile if required.

You can also update your password from your account page.

Two-factor

You can (optionally, though recommended) enable TOTP (like Google Authenticator or 1Password) to secure your account further by requiring that a code generated by a TOTP client has to be entered every time you login.

Social login

You can (optionally) connect your account to sing-in with GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket or Apple. This allows a convienent way to login without entering your username and password.

If you feel the social account connected to your account are sufficently secured already you can choose to bypass two-factor when signing in with a social account from your preferences.
