Settings
The Settings panel for the VIP Dashboard provides a user with information about their VIP Dashboard user account, multi-factor authentication (MFA) method(s), and access to Personal Access Tokens that are required for installing VIP-CLI.
Access
Prerequisites
To access the Settings panel a user must have access to the VIP Dashboard.
To navigate to the Settings panel a user can either:
- Select the avatar in the upper right corner of the VIP Dashboard, then select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
- For users with access to the My Applications or My Organizations panel, select “Settings” from the list of links displayed below a user’s profile in the left sidebar.
Profile
The top section of the Settings panel is titled “Profile”. This section displays information associated with a user’s account including Display Name, Email, and User ID. The information in this section cannot be modified.
Authentication
The “Authentication” section of the Settings panel displays a summary of a user’s configured MFA methods for logging in to the VIP Dashboard including Preferred MFA Method (e.g. “Passkeys” or “SMS”), Configured MFA Methods (e.g. “Backup Codes, Passkeys, SMS”), and Authentication Method (i.e. GitHub or WordPress.com).
A user can add, edit, or configure existing MFA methods for their VIP Dashboard user account by selecting the button labeled “Manage MFA” positioned at the right hand side of the “Authentication” section.
Personal Access Token
In the “Authentication” section of the Settings panel a user can generate a Personal Access Token that is required to install VIP-CLI locally.
- Select the “Generate Token” button.
- Select the “Copy” button to the right of the generated Personal Access Token.
Caution: A Personal Access Token is unique to each user and should be kept safe like a password.
