# Fansly security: Management Sessions, 2FA and leaks > How to keep a Fansly account secure: Management Sessions instead of sharing passwords, two-factor authentication, watermarks and what to do if content is stolen. Source: https://poutagency.com/fansly/account-security --- # Fansly account security and team access Checked against Fansly’s help centre on 25 September 2026 The short answer To keep a Fansly account secure, turn on two-factor authentication and never share your password. If a manager, assistant or agency helps, Fansly’s Management Sessions give them access with only the permissions you choose, through a single-use link, and Fansly says payouts and account closure are always restricted. You can change or remove a session at any time. If content is stolen, Fansly offers a reporting route and takedown help. ## Management Sessions: access without your password Fansly’s [Management Sessions (external site)](https://help.fansly.com/en/articles/12328641-management-sessions) let you create a named session, choose what it can do, and share a single-use link with the person who needs access. You can edit the permissions or delete the session whenever you like. Fansly says sensitive areas such as payouts and account closure are always restricted. Fansly also makes clear that you are responsible for everything done through a session you create, so give each person only the access they need and remove it as soon as they no longer need it. ## The basics Fansly recommends - Turn on two-factor authentication, as Fansly’s [creator security FAQ (external site)](https://help.fansly.com/en/articles/12328615-creator-security-faq) recommends. - Use Management Sessions rather than sharing your password with anyone. - Keep your payout details in your own name and check they have not changed. - Review active sessions regularly and delete any you do not recognise or no longer use. Our [security checklist](https://poutagency.com/tools/security-checklist) turns these and other steps into a list you can tick off, and our guide to [sharing account access safely](https://poutagency.com/guides/sharing-account-access-safely) covers the same principles on any platform. ## If an agency is involved Fansly’s article on [applying as an agency, producer or other (external site)](https://help.fansly.com/en/articles/12315622-applying-as-an-agency-producer-or-other) says accounts are registered with the legal information of the primary account owner, who is the person eligible to receive payouts. In practice, that means the account and the payouts should stay with the creator, and an agency should work through the access you grant. If anyone asks for your password, or to change the payout details to their own account, stop and ask why.
