The founder account

Each hosted forum has a single founder account, created at installation. It is yours: it has every right on the forum, and no other account can become founder. To get help, see Administrators and moderators.

Use the support forum password

In My forums, “Manage this forum”, Founder account block, the “Use my support forum password” button copies your support forum password and username to the founder account:

• the founder account’s email address is kept;
• its username is kept if another member of the forum already uses yours;
• its sessions are closed, and a confirmation email is sent to you.

This is also the way out if you forgot the founder account password.

Protect the account

Turn on two-factor authentication for the founder account, and never share its credentials.
