Security Centre
Confirm sensitive changes
Use your dashboard password to manage keys or revoke sessions. Your shell password is separate.
Two-factor authentication
Protect your dashboard account and all linked shells with an authenticator app. SSH/SFTP authentication stays separate.
Loading…
Scan this QR code in your authenticator app, or enter the setup key manually. Keep this key private. Setup expires in 10 minutes.
Save your recovery codes now
These ten codes are shown once. Each replaces an authenticator code for one sign-in. Store them somewhere safe outside your phone. Old recovery codes have been replaced.
SSH keys ·
Public keys grant SSH/SFTP access to the selected active shell. Paste only a public key; keep its private key on your device. Existing manually installed keys are preserved.
Removing a key blocks future logins with it. Existing SSH connections stay open.
Dashboard sessions
Browser details come from the sign-in request and do not prove a device's identity. Recent activity updates at most once every five minutes.
Dashboard login history
Latest 100 recorded sign-ins, retained up to 90 days. History starts with this feature; SSH login history is separate.
Backups & Restore
Selected shell backups
Daily home-directory copies stored on this shell server. Three recent copies are retained; open recovery requests preserve their selected copy. Off-server backup protection has not been verified. These copies do not protect against loss of the server.
Request a recovery
An administrator reviews your request and arranges recovery. Submitting or approving a request does not overwrite files. Describe the files needed and whether existing files should be preserved.

Keeping your Free shell active
Stay involved on the DarkWorld IRC network and renew your shell through Keep. These are separate requirements: renewing Keep records your shell activity, while IRC participation keeps you connected to the community that provides the service.
Select the correct shell above, check its deadline, then use Keep this shell. You can renew up to twice per UTC day. The expiry shown after a successful renewal is your current deadline; the countdown uses your browser’s local time.
If the shell is locked or suspended, contact staff for review. Keep does not bypass those restrictions. Ads are optional and never affect renewal.
