Accessing Your Account Securely

Logging Into Your Account

When you're ready to access your Canyon Valuation account, you'll start by visiting our website and clicking the "Login" button in the top right corner of the page. This takes you to our secure login page, where you can enter your credentials and access your personalized dashboard.

The login page is designed to be clean and user-friendly, with clear fields for your email address and password. Your email address serves as your username, so you'll enter the same email you used when creating your account. The password field is secure, meaning the characters you type are hidden for privacy.

If you're using your own computer or device, you'll see a "Remember Me" checkbox that you can select to stay logged in. This convenience feature saves you from having to enter your credentials every time you visit the platform. However, we recommend only using this option on your personal devices, not on shared or public computers.

The Login Process

Once you've entered your email and password, clicking the "Sign In" button will begin the authentication process. The system will verify your credentials and check your account status. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you'll be prompted to provide the additional verification code at this point.

The verification process typically takes just a few seconds, and you'll be automatically redirected to your dashboard once your credentials are confirmed. Your dashboard serves as your command center, showing you an overview of your current projects, recent activity, and quick access to the features you use most often.

If there are any issues with your login attempt, the system will provide clear error messages to help you understand what went wrong. Common issues might include incorrect email or password, account lockout due to too many failed attempts, or the need to verify your email address.

Managing Your Login Sessions

Once you're logged in, our system manages your session to provide both security and convenience. Your session remains active as long as you're using the platform, but it will automatically expire after a period of inactivity to protect your account.

You can view and manage your active sessions through your account settings. This shows you all the devices and browsers currently logged into your account, including information about when and where each session was started. This visibility helps you identify any unauthorized access and take action if needed.

If you see a session from a location or device you don't recognize, you can immediately log out of that session remotely. This security feature prevents unauthorized users from continuing to access your account even if they somehow obtained your login credentials.

Staying Logged In

For convenience, you can choose to stay logged in on trusted devices. When you select the "Remember Me" option during login, the system will keep you logged in for an extended period, so you won't need to enter your credentials every time you visit the platform.

This feature is particularly useful if you use the platform frequently throughout the day. However, it's important to use this option only on your personal devices and to log out completely when using shared or public computers.

The system is designed to balance convenience with security, automatically logging you out after extended periods of inactivity or when it detects unusual activity patterns. This helps protect your account while still providing a smooth user experience.

Logging Out Securely

When you're finished using the platform, it's important to log out properly to protect your account. You can log out by clicking on your name in the top right corner of the screen and selecting "Sign Out" from the dropdown menu.

Logging out properly ends your session and prevents others from accessing your account if they gain access to your device. This is especially important when using shared computers or when you're in public spaces where others might see your screen.

The system will confirm that you've been successfully logged out, and you'll be redirected to the main website. You can always log back in when you need to access your account again.

Automatic Logout and Security

Our system includes automatic logout features to protect your account when you're not actively using it. After a period of inactivity, you'll be automatically logged out to prevent unauthorized access if you step away from your computer or forget to log out manually.

You can adjust these timeout settings in your account preferences to balance security with convenience. Shorter timeout periods provide better security but require more frequent logins, while longer periods are more convenient but slightly less secure.

The system also monitors for unusual login patterns or suspicious activity. If it detects something unusual, such as login attempts from unfamiliar locations or at unusual times, it may require additional verification or temporarily lock your account for security.

Troubleshooting Login Issues

If you're having trouble logging into your account, there are several common solutions to try. First, make sure you're using the correct email address and that caps lock is not enabled when entering your password.

If you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. This will send you an email with a secure link to create a new password. The reset process is designed to be secure and user-friendly.

If your account has been locked due to too many failed login attempts, you'll need to wait a short period before trying again, or contact our support team for assistance. This security measure helps protect your account from unauthorized access attempts.
