Add new domain
On registration page
As soon as you created your account, you can add your domains. Simply type in your domain into the text field and click "Next"
Note
Don't include protocol or path when adding a domain:
Incorrect:
https://example.com https://en.example.com/index.htmlCorrect:
example.com en.example.com
If you want to use EasyLogon on all your subdomains, prepend an asterisk wildcard to your domain name:
*.example.com
This will include all subdomains you have on your primary domain. For example:
- en.example.com
- ru.example.com
- forum.example.com
- app.example.com
- etc.
If you have more than one domain, you'd like to connect, enumerate them, separating with semicolon sign (;)
For example, if you type in following string:
*.example.com;myweb.site;site.test.com
You will add following domains to your account:
- example.com (with all subdomains)
- myweb.site
- site.test.com
On profile page
If you don't want to add domains now, you can do it later on your profile page
Go to Domains section and click "+ Add new domain"
Type in your domain and press Enter or "+" button
Just like on the Get Started page, you can use wildcards to include all subdomains
Verify domain
Once you've added your domain to the account, you need to verify it before you can use QR sign in on your website.
To do so, go to your profile page and in Domains section click on your domain that requires verification
From now, you have two options to verify your domain: with DNS record or with file
Option 1: DNS verification
To verify your domain with DNS you will need to add a new DNS record on your domain registrar website
Here some instructions on how to add DNS records for most popular providers:
If you use another provider do the following steps:
- Identify you domain host
- In a second browser window or tab, sign in to your domain host account
- Go to your domain’s DNS records. The page might be called something like DNS Management, Name Server Management, Control Panel, or Advanced Settings
- Select the option to add a new record
DNS record details are shown in the domain verification window:
This is how it looks when you add DNS record on Name.com:
Click "Add record", go back to EasyLogon tab and click "Check verification" to verify your domain
Note
It may take up to 48 hours for DNS servers to sync your changes, so if verification fails, try to check verification later
If verification is successfull, the page will reload and "requires verification" label will disappear
Note
After successful verification you should not delete the DNS entry, because our service will periodically re-verify your domain to ensure that it is still yours
Option 2: File verification
Alternatively, you can verify your domain by uploading a text file to the root of your website
First, download file from domain verification window by clicking "Download file"
Then upload the file to the root folder of your website on your server. Here some ways to do so:
If you have a dedicated VPS/VDS server, see Transfer Files Between Remote and Local Systems Over SSH
If you use a hosting for your website, see instructions for control panel, installed on your hosting:
As the result, the file should be accessible via browser at https://yourdomain.com/_ezlverification_challenge.txt
If you done it right, when navigating to https://yourdomain.com/_ezlverification_challenge.txt you should see your verification string
When it's done, click "Check verification" on EasyLogon domain verification window
If verification is successfull, the page will reload and "requires verification" label will disappear
Note
After successful verification you should not delete the file, because our service will periodically re-verify your domain to ensure that it is still yours
