User verification allows you to securely identify users who access your private widgets or pages. By generating a signed authentication token on your server, you can ensure that only authorized users gain access and can leave feedback in your portals.
User verification is a great way to control access while providing a seamless experience for your team and customers.
To implement user verification, you'll require an Account ID as well as a Shared Secret. To access your account credentials, navigate to global Settings> User verification in Released.
Account ID
The account ID uniquely identifies your release account.
Shared Secret
Your authentication secret key.
Keep your secret safe! Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories.
Rotating your shared secret
If you accidentally leaked your secret, or need to change it for any other reason, you can easily create a new one.
Generate a new secret in the global Settings > User verification section.
Update your server to use the new secret when generating tokens.
Ensure all embeds and requests are updated to use tokens generated with the new secret.
