Settings

Verify your e-mail

The first thing you'll want to do is verify your e-mail address.

Go to Settings > Email to verify your e-mail address.

Note: because your Misskey instance is sending out e-mails for the very first time, the e-mails have an increased chance of being marked as spam. Please check your spam folder if the e-mail does not arrive in your inbox.

Two-factor authentication

As the admin user of your Misskey instance you enjoy extraordinary powers. To ensure these powers are safeguarded we highly recommend you enable two-factor authentication.

Go to Settings > Security > Register a new device to enable two-factor authentication.

Control Panel

Open Registration

You probably want to familiarize yourself with Misskey before you start accepting new users. With this in mind we recommend you temporarily disable new user registrations.

Go to Control Panel > Settings > General and disable Enable new user registration for now. You can re-enable it later.
