==xat Konto Skydd==
<span id="protection"></span>
There are three types of Account Protection on xat. This system is in place to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your account. The default type of protection is type 2.
 
To adjust these settings, go to https://xat.com/login. Once you have logged in successfully, scroll down to the security settings. Once you have selected the type of protection you want, click "Update security settings".
 
'''1- Country'''
 
This type lets you log in from anywhere within your country without a security check email, even if you're using a different internet provider or IP address to your home location. This is the lowest level of protection. If you attempt to log in from a different country to your home location, you will receive E30/E64.
 
'''2 - Internet provider'''
 
This type restricts you to logging in from the same internet provider (e.g. Comcast, AT&T, Time Warner Cable) as your home location, although you can change locations or IP address. You are also required to log in through a security check email sent to the email address that you used to create your xat account. This email contains a special link that changes every time you log in, so you don't need to save it. This is the medium level of protection. If you randomly receive a login link via email when you have not attempted to log in, you should immediately change your account password. If you attempt to log in from a different internet provider to your home location, you will receive E30/E64.
 
'''3 - IP address'''
 
This type restricts you to logging in from the same IP address and location as your home location. You are also required to log in through a security check email, as described above. This is the highest level of protection. If you attempt to log in from a different IP address (e.g. a dynamic IP address) to your home location, you will receive E30/E64. If you attempt to log in from a different location to the one you selected type 3 at (i.e. your home location), you will receive E29 and be locked out of your account.


===5-day hold===
==Account Protection Holds==
<span id="hold"></span>
<span id="hold"></span>
If xat detects irregularities in your account and suspects [[Phishing|phishing]] on your account, you may be blocked from transferring and trading for 5 days. This allows you time to fix the problem and prevents phishers from transferring away your xats or days. This can not be deactivated and applies to all accounts.
'''3-day hold'''
 
Reducing your Account Protection type from 2 to 1 will place a 3-day hold on your account for security purposes. Reducing your type from 3 to 2 will not trigger this hold.


==Account Protection==
'''5-day hold'''
<span id="protection"></span>
This option is activated on all user accounts by default and can be disabled at the login page. When xat notices a login from a different location, you are required to log in through a link sent to the email account that you used to create your xat account.


This system has been put in place to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your account. The special link changes every time you log in, so you don't need to save it. If you randomly receive a login link via e-mail when you have not attempted to log in, you should immediately change your account password.
Om xat märker några konstigheter i ditt konto och misstänka [[Phishing]] på ditt konto så kommer du förmodligen att bli avstängd från överföring av xats/powers/days för 5 dagar. Det här ger dig tid att fixa problemet och förhindra bedragarna att överföra bort dina xats, powers eller days. Den här funktionen kan inte bli avstängd och kommer att tillämpas på alla konto.  


'''Please note, before disabling this setting, that a 3-day hold will be placed on your account if you do choose to disable it.'''
Your account may also be held for 5 days if there's activity from a different location, internet provider or IP address to your home location.


==Account Authentication==
==Email Address Authentication==
<span id="authentication"></span>
<span id="authentication"></span>
As an extended layer of protection, xat has integrated Google Authentication. Authentication is not activated by default and must be manually enabled by users. Google Authenticator will generate random codes that will give you access to your account. In order to encourage users to enable this setting and protect their accounts, this has been made a requirement for [[Tickle]] power.  
As an extended layer of protection, you may consider enabling 2-step verification on the email address associated with your xat account, if your email address provider offers this service. This can stop users from stealing your xat account even when they know the password of your email address.

'''Q. What is my home location?'''
 
Your home location is the location, internet provider and IP address you had at the time of registering your account or last having a location update.
 
'''Q. What are E30/E64?'''
 
These errors require you to check your emails to log in. The email address associated with your account will have received a security check email, which is essential to log in.


See the [[Authentication]] article for more information on this feature.
'''Q. What is the security check email?'''


==Account Locking==
This is an automated email sent from xat to the email address associated with your account. This email contains a special login link. If you receive an email like this and haven't tried to log in, you should change your password immediately.
<span id="locking"></span>
When you have this option enabled, xat will block any login attempts that are not coming from your home location. You can only log in from your home location, no matter what. To enable this setting, you must be at your home location. If you have moved locations or changed your internet service provider (ISP) since you registered, you will need to request a location update via ticket, which requires you to be a paid user.

This article will provide you with information on different security settings on xat and how they work. Although these security settings can increase your account's security, you should not rely on them completely. We also have other security guides you may want to check.

IMPORTANT: xat staff or volunteers will never ask you to reduce your account protection, nor any other security feature. If anyone asks you to reduce your account protection, they could be trying to access your account and steal your xats/days/powers.

xat Konto Skydd

There are three types of Account Protection on xat. This system is in place to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your account. The default type of protection is type 2.

To adjust these settings, go to https://xat.com/login. Once you have logged in successfully, scroll down to the security settings. Once you have selected the type of protection you want, click "Update security settings".

1- Country

This type lets you log in from anywhere within your country without a security check email, even if you're using a different internet provider or IP address to your home location. This is the lowest level of protection. If you attempt to log in from a different country to your home location, you will receive E30/E64.

2 - Internet provider

This type restricts you to logging in from the same internet provider (e.g. Comcast, AT&T, Time Warner Cable) as your home location, although you can change locations or IP address. You are also required to log in through a security check email sent to the email address that you used to create your xat account. This email contains a special link that changes every time you log in, so you don't need to save it. This is the medium level of protection. If you randomly receive a login link via email when you have not attempted to log in, you should immediately change your account password. If you attempt to log in from a different internet provider to your home location, you will receive E30/E64.

3 - IP address

This type restricts you to logging in from the same IP address and location as your home location. You are also required to log in through a security check email, as described above. This is the highest level of protection. If you attempt to log in from a different IP address (e.g. a dynamic IP address) to your home location, you will receive E30/E64. If you attempt to log in from a different location to the one you selected type 3 at (i.e. your home location), you will receive E29 and be locked out of your account.

Account Protection Holds

3-day hold

Reducing your Account Protection type from 2 to 1 will place a 3-day hold on your account for security purposes. Reducing your type from 3 to 2 will not trigger this hold.

5-day hold

Om xat märker några konstigheter i ditt konto och misstänka Phishing på ditt konto så kommer du förmodligen att bli avstängd från överföring av xats/powers/days för 5 dagar. Det här ger dig tid att fixa problemet och förhindra bedragarna att överföra bort dina xats, powers eller days. Den här funktionen kan inte bli avstängd och kommer att tillämpas på alla konto.

Your account may also be held for 5 days if there's activity from a different location, internet provider or IP address to your home location.

Email Address Authentication

As an extended layer of protection, you may consider enabling 2-step verification on the email address associated with your xat account, if your email address provider offers this service. This can stop users from stealing your xat account even when they know the password of your email address.
