Every check AuthenticateMe can run lives on the Settings page of the dashboard. Checks are grouped by what they look at, and each one can be turned on or off on its own.

Presets

Presets set every check at once. Pick one as a starting point, then adjust single checks below it.
The four presets, with Balanced marked as activeThe four presets, with Balanced marked as active

Basic

Low friction. Stays out of your members’ way and quietly logs anything suspicious.

Balanced

The recommended middle ground. Stops the clearest threats and keeps an eye on the rest. New servers start here.

Aggressive

Maximum protection. Strict on everything, and turns away anyone who looks suspicious.

Custom

Selected automatically whenever your setup doesn’t match a preset.
Applying a preset only changes the form. Nothing happens until you click Save changes.
Presets never touch your roles, channels, messages, logs, alerts, GeoGate, Help Desk, Honeypot, Cooldown, or MFA Required.

​
Actions

Most checks have an Action that decides what happens when a member fails it. The Honeypot also offers Timeout and Softban. A softban bans the member and unbans them right away, which deletes everything they posted in the last hour. Whatever the action, the member never gets the Verified Role from a failed attempt, and the failure is posted to your logs if you’ve set them up. The member also gets a DM that tells them why.

​
Which checks run where

Only four checks can run in Button-Click and Instant-Grant mode, which are Account Age, Avatar Required, Cooldown, and Max Verifications. Every other check needs the Web-Link mode, because it reads the member’s browser, connection, or device. Checks run in a fixed order, and the first one that fails is the one the member sees.

  • Copy settings code copies the setup as text.
  • Download settings file saves it as a .txt file.
  • Import settings loads a code or a file of up to 64 KB.
Roles, channels, and custom messages are never imported, because they belong to the server they came from.

​
Saving

Changes on the Settings, Premium, and Appearance pages share one form. As soon as you change something, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen. Click Save changes or press Ctrl S (⌘ S on Mac), or click Reset to undo everything since the last save. If a value isn’t valid, the dashboard points you to it before saving.
