Why device activation?
To protect merchant dashboard access from unauthorized sign-ins. Each browser/device needs a one-time activation code issued by platform administration (unless trust is revoked).
Steps
- Sign in from the browser you use daily for dashboard operations.
- In Home, copy "This device identifier".
- Click "Send activation request to admin".
- After admin issues the code — on the same device activate (server-side activation button or owner code entry).
Important rules
- The code is not stored as a permanent browser value — activation happens server-side when device fingerprint matches.
- Staff activate their own device using the same flow after staff request approval.
- Only the owner can "Show code" and revoke trust from "My trusted devices".
Do not switch devices after issuance If the code is issued for Chrome on your computer, activation from Safari on phone will not work for the same request.
