Authentication

CloudPirates supports several ways to authenticate your account and API requests: passwords, WebAuthn passkeys, and API keys. Add MFA to strengthen password logins.

Portal Access

Manage your authentication methods, security settings, and active sessions from the CloudPirates Portal.

Authentication Methods

CloudPirates supports the following authentication methods:

Password Authentication

Email and password authentication with optional MFA. This is the default method for new accounts.

• Account registration at /register
• Email validation required before first login
• Optional two-factor authentication via SMS or authenticator app
• Password recovery available

Passkeys (WebAuthn)

Passwordless authentication using hardware security keys, biometric authenticators, or platform authenticators (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello).

• No MFA required when logging in while using WebAuthn
• Support for multiple devices

Password Login Still Available

WebAuthn does not disable password authentication. Enable MFA for password login as an additional layer.

API Keys

Programmatic API access for automated systems and integrations.

• Create multiple API keys with custom labels
• Manage keys through the portal
• Use for API authentication instead of session tokens
• Can't be used for security-sensitive operations

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Add an extra layer of security to password-based authentication:

• SMS Authentication: Receive verification codes via text message
• Authenticator Apps: Use TOTP codes from apps like Google Authenticator, 1Password, or Authy

Passkey Login Skips the MFA Prompt

Logging in with a Passkey (WebAuthn) doesn't require MFA, even if it is set up for password login.

Session Management

• View all active sessions with device and location information

• Remote logout from any device
• Automatic session invalidation upon logout
