Setting Up Authentication in Talkturo

Authentication is an essential part of securing your Talkturo account and projects. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and manage authentication for your Talkturo environment.

Getting started with Authentication

To set up authentication in Talkturo, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Talkturo account
   Go to the Talkturo website and sign in using your credentials.

2. Access your account settings
   Once signed in, navigate to the account settings by clicking on your profile icon in the top-right corner and selecting "Account Settings."

3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
   For an additional layer of security, it is recommended to enable two-factor authentication. Follow these steps:

   • Click on the "Security" tab.
   • Select "Enable Two-Factor Authentication."
   • Follow the instructions to set up 2FA using an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy.

   After setup, you will be required to provide a one-time code from the app each time you log in.

4. Manage API keys
   If you are using Talkturo's API, you will need to generate and manage API keys:

   • Go to the "API Access" section under the "Account Settings."
   • Click on "Generate New API Key."
   • Copy and store the API key securely. This key will allow your applications to authenticate with Talkturo's services.

5. User roles and permissions
   For projects with multiple collaborators, you can set up role-based access control (RBAC):

   • In your project dashboard, click on the "Users" tab.
   • Add users by entering their email addresses.
   • Assign roles such as Admin, Developer, or Viewer based on their required level of access.
   • Users will receive an invitation via email to join the project.

6. Session management
   You can review active sessions and manage them to enhance security:

   • Go to "Account Settings" and open the "Sessions" tab.
   • You will see a list of active sessions (e.g., devices, locations).
   • If you notice any unfamiliar sessions, you can terminate them from this screen to revoke access immediately.

Advanced Authentication Features

Talkturo provides additional advanced authentication options:

1. SSO (Single Sign-On)
   Integrate Talkturo with your organization's single sign-on (SSO) provider for seamless and secure access across platforms.

2. OAuth 2.0
   Use OAuth 2.0 to enable secure, token-based authentication for third-party integrations.

3. Audit logs
   Monitor authentication attempts and security-related events by reviewing audit logs. This allows you to track when and where users access your Talkturo account.

Conclusion

By setting up strong authentication practices in Talkturo, you ensure that your account and projects remain secure. Make sure to enable 2FA, manage API keys responsibly, and regularly review user permissions for optimal security.
