GoVIP has a single type of account, which is external to the main Ammedia Digital accounts system that you might use to login to other services we provide. We separate GoVIP from the main accounts system for a couple of reasons:
In the future, you’ll be able to link your Ammedia Digital account with a GoVIP account, which can benefit Community Accounting & Finance Managers by providing access to subscription information inside of Ammedia One.
Creating an account on GoVIP is simple, and can be achieved using a couple of different methods;
After creating your account, you’ll be taken to the dashboard. If you’re new to GoVIP – meaning you haven’t yet joined or created a community – the dashboard will look a bit different. It’s designed to guide you through the process of joining or creating your first community. Once you’re part of a community, the dashboard switches to its regular layout, showing quick links to help you get started and engage with any community you’re a member of.
Keeping your GoVIP account secure is our top priority – and it should be yours too.
We offer a range of security features to help protect your account, and we strongly recommend taking advantage of them.
GoVIP supports login through a standard called OpenID, which powers familiar options like “Sign in with Google” or “Sign in with Discord”.
Because you can link multiple services to your GoVIP account, we give you full control over which ones can actually be used to sign in. Just linking a service doesn’t automatically enable it for login – you decide which services are allowed to start a GoVIP session.
If you’ve disabled login for a linked service and later try to use it, you’ll see an Account not Linked message. This follows common web standards: services shouldn’t reveal account info unless the user is actually authorised.
To manage your login options, go the Account page and click Connections”. after switching on Edit Mode, you’ll see checkboxes for each linked service. Don’t forget to click the Save button at the bottom of the screen after making changes!
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to your GoVIP account. Instead of relying solely on your password/social sign-in, MFA requires a second step to verify your identity – typically using something you have, like your phone.
Even if somebody gets ahold hold of your password, they still can’t access your account without that second factor. When MFA is enabled, you’ll login using your password (or social sign-in) as usual. Then, you’ll be prompted to enter a one-time code from an authenticator app, which generate time-based codes that refresh every 30 seconds and don’t require an internet connection.
To enable MFA, go to the Account page and navigate to the Security tab. On this page, you’ll see a “Multi-factor authentication status” box containing a button to begin setup for MFA.
MFA won’t be enforced on your account until you have successfully verified that you can generate the correct code from an Authenticator app.
Once enforcement of MFA has begun, you’ll need to generate a new code every time you sign in. This includes when you use a social sign-in, like Google or Discord.
