Sign-in and Security

Create an Account

Accounts are free. Go to the registration page and enter your Full Name, E-mail and Password (at least 8 characters) twice, accept the Terms and Privacy Policy, and click Create account. You can also sign up with Google or LinkedIn.

We send you an e-mail to verify your address. Click the link in it to finish. If you do not see it, check your spam folder or click Resend verification email.

If a group invited you, use the link in the invitation e-mail to register. You are added to the group automatically when you finish.

Sign In

Enter your e-mail and password and click Sign in. Tick Remember Me to stay signed in on this device.

After signing in you land on your Feed.

For security, after 5 failed attempts in a minute you have to wait before trying again.

Sign In with Google or LinkedIn

Click Sign in with Google or Sign in with LinkedIn on the sign-in page.

  • If the e-mail address on your Google or LinkedIn account matches your ChamberForge e-mail (or one of your verified additional e-mails), you are signed in to your existing account.
  • If there is no matching account, a new account is created for you.
  • Google or LinkedIn must have verified that e-mail address. Otherwise sign-in is refused.

Sign In with Your Phone

If you have a verified mobile number on your profile, click Sign in with Phone on the sign-in page. Enter your number and the code we send by text message. The code expires in 5 minutes. If your number is not on any account, you see "Phone number not registered".

Forgot Your Password

Click Forgot Password? on the sign-in page and enter your e-mail. We send you a link to choose a new password. If you have a verified phone, you can reset your password with a code sent by text message or phone call instead.

Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication asks for a one-time code every time you sign in, in addition to your password. To turn it on, go to My Account, turn on Two Factor Auth under Additional Settings, and click Save changes.

When you sign in, choose how to receive your code:

  • E-mail
  • SMS (text message), if you have a verified phone number
  • Phone call, where the code is read to you, if you have a verified phone number

Enter the 6-digit code. It is valid for 10 minutes. Click Re-send code to get a new one, or Use a different method to switch. If you have no verified phone number, codes are sent by e-mail.

{info} ChamberForge does not use authenticator apps. Codes are always sent by e-mail, text message or phone call.

Until you enter the code, notifications and the rest of your account are locked.

Sign-in Codes for Unusual Logins

Even if two-factor authentication is off, you are asked for a code when you sign in from a different country than last time. This protects your account if someone else learns your password.

Trusted Networks

When you are asked for a code because of an unusual login, you can tick Trust this network. You will not be asked for a code again when you sign in from that network.

Trust lasts 60 days from the last time you signed in from that network, and is renewed each time you use it. You can see and remove trusted networks under My Account > Login History > Trusted Networks, with Forget.

Login History and Devices

My Account > Login History has three sections:

  • Device History: the browsers and mobile apps signed in to your account. Log out signs out one device, and Log out all other devices signs out everything except the device you are using. Devices unused for more than 3 months are marked.
  • Trusted Networks: see above.
  • Login History: each sign-in with the date, device, IP address, location and status (Normal, Unusual, or Unusual (verified)).

If you see a sign-in you do not recognize, change your password and log out all other devices.

Change Your Password

Go to My Account > Password, enter a new password (at least 8 characters) twice and click Update Password.

Whenever your password is changed, we send you an e-mail, "Your Password Was Changed". If you did not change it, use the link in that e-mail to reset your password right away.

Switch Between Accounts

If you have more than one ChamberForge account, for example a personal account and one for your chamber, you can switch between them without signing out.

  1. Click your picture in the top right corner and choose Add account.
  2. Sign in with the other account.
  3. Both accounts are now listed at the bottom of the account menu. Click one to switch.

The list of accounts is saved in this browser only. Sign out of all accounts signs out every account in this browser. Two-factor authentication still applies to each account.
