Security

The security of Advertisers and Publishers is at the top of Zeropark’s priorities. In this section, you will find information about security features available to protect your account, money, and sensitive data from being hacked or stolen. You can also learn how to make the most of the Zeropark API.

Zeropark has three security features available to protect your account and stop hard-coding sensitive data:

  1. New log-in sessions:  To help you monitor from which device there are sign-ins to your Zeropark account

  2. Two-factor authentication: To protect your account from getting hacked

  3. API access tokens

New log-in sessions:

Opt-in by default, you are notified by email anytime new device logs into your Zeropark account. Once notified, you can act on any suspicious sign-ins by suspending your account and resetting the password.

Suspending your account will:

  1. Send you an email with a new password.

  2. Terminate all active sessions.

  3. Pause all campaigns.

  4. Suspend any financial transactions.

  5. Require a member of the Zeropark Team to reactivate your account.

Two-factor authentication (2FA):

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a method of signing in to the Zeropark platform that requires more than just a password.

Using only a password to sign in to any website is vulnerable to security threats because a malicious user only needs one piece of information to gain access to your account.

2FA places an extra layer of security on your account by requiring both your password and a second authentication code while signing in.

The only way a user can sign in to your account is if they have your password and the authentication code from your registered mobile device(s).

For Zeropark, the additional authentication code will be generated by a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) mobile app.

Tip

We recommend adding 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) to your account for an added level of security.

  • Once you do so, you’ll be issued a 2FA code for your device.

  • During login, if you check the box labeled "Trust this device and don't ask for the verification code next time.", your device will be remembered.

  • This means that you do not need to enter the MFA code every single time you log in. This way you can access your account quickly and securely.

Before you start turning on the Two-Factor Authentication for your Zeropark account, it is required to download and install a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) application.

The TOTP application automatically generates authentication codes that expire and refresh after certain periods of time. TOTP applications are more reliable than using SMS authentication, so 2FA on the Zeropark platform will utilize the TOTP authentication only.

Download one of the following mobile applications:

After installing the TOTP application on your mobile device, set 2FA on the Zeropark platform:

  1. Go to the My accounttab.

  2. Go to Security in the menu on the left-hand side.

  3. Drag the Two-factor authentication toggle to apply Two-Factor Authentication for your account. The 2FA startup page will show up.

  4. Scan the barcode image on the pop-up page using the TOTP application.

    • If you cannot scan the QR code from your computer screen, you can always use a text code option.

    • Click the text code in step 1 of 2FA. in the Two-factor authentication pop-up window and next, type the text code to the mobile application field.

      Tip

      To configure 2FA on multiple devices, you need to follow this step for all devices in the same session. Just scan the same QR code for all devices.

      If 2FA is already enabled for a device and you want to add another device, you’ll have to reconfigure all devices again.

      You need to follow the next step only with one of the devices.

  5. Input the six-digit code from the application into the field in step 2 of 2FA.

  6. To complete the verification, click the Continue button.

  7. You will see the Two-Factor Authentication status is turned on.
