Your DekkoSecure Account Password
Your password is set by you when you create your DekkoSecure account. This password secures your account's private key, which is used to access your files and messages.
Your password can only be changed in two ways:
- When you reset it yourself while logged in
- When it's reset by a trusted user. If a trusted user resets your password, you'll receive an email notification.
DekkoSecure cannot access your private key or password. DekkoSecure cannot reset your private key or password.
If you have forgotten your account password, there are two ways to regain access:
- Password reset by a "trusted user" (contact your DekkoSecure organisation admin for assistance)
- Account reset
Before attempting to recover your account via a password reset or account reset, check the following:
- You are logging in to the correct service where your DekkoSecure account exists:
- Australian government and industry - au.dekko.io
- Canadian government and industry - ca.dekko.io
- Swiss government and industry - ch.dekko.io
- Healthcare professionals - health.dekko.io
- You have entered your email address correctly
If you can't access 2FA
Your 2FA token is set up by you when you create your DekkoSecure account (via an invite).
Before trying to recover your account, look for an "Authenticator" app on your phone (Microsoft Authenticator, Okta Verify, Authy, Google Authenticator, etc.).
Your DekkoSecure account will be listed with a rotating 6-digit code, a token name (e.g., "DekkoSecure-AU") and your DekkoSecure ID (your email address)
If you have lost your 2FA token, there are two ways to regain access to your account:
- 2FA reset by your DekkoSecure organisation admin (contact them for assistance)
- Account reset
Account reset by you
The account reset process will recreate your account. This deletes all data associated with your profile:
- Your files and messages will be deleted (except for files shared with Full Permissions
- Your Hub membership(s) will be removed
- You will not be able to access files that were shared with you before the reset (your contacts will need to re-share files with you)

Steps to reset your account
- Navigate to the recover account service:
- Enter your DekkoSecure account ID and check the acknowledgement, then press proceed

- If you have a trusted user they will be listed in the message. You can contact them to request a password reset. Alternatively, you can use the account reset link to reset your account.
- If you do not have a trusted user you must use the account reset link.
After your account has been reset
- Request access to the Hub(s) that you were a member of
- Request sharing access to content that was previously shared with you*
* Owners of the files that were previously shared with you will be marked with "Reshare required" in the file listing. Your contacts can use this marking to quickly identify what needs to be shared with you.
