Security

The security settings page allows you to:

  • Manage CORS white-listed domains
  • View user sessions
  • Create new app passcodes to allow 3rd party applications access to your VNCsafe account.

Manage CORS white-listed domains

You have the option to whitelist certain domains. This gives you the ability to access your VNCsafe through other domains.

By default, no domains will be listed. To add one, or more:

CORS entries follow strict rules, only HTTP and HTTPS protocols are allowed.

The sessions section represents a list of all your current user sessions across web, desktop, and mobile clients. Specifically, it lists the used browser's user agent string and the time of the most recent activity.

Add passwords/ tokens

This section allows you to provide permission for an app or device to access your VNCsafe account. App passwords are a security measure that lets you keep your actual password hidden from 3rd party applications.

To add a password:

  2. Click Create new app passcode.
  3. A username and password/token will be generated and the app will be listed in the apps list in this section.
