Account Authentication
Sign up and log in to the SALZ dashboard to manage your API keys, view usage data, and configure your account.
The SALZ dashboard is where you manage your API keys, monitor usage, and configure your account. This page covers how to create an account and sign in.
Creating an Account
- Go to add-salz.io and click Sign Up or Get Started.
- Enter your email address and choose a password.
- Check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link.
- You are now logged in and can start using the dashboard.
Signing In
Visit the SALZ sign-in page and enter your email and password. After authentication, you will be redirected to your dashboard.
If you forget your password, click the Forgot password? link on the sign-in page. SALZ will send a password reset email to your registered address.
Dashboard Overview
Once signed in, you have access to:
- Playground -- Test text optimization directly in the browser without an API key.
- API Keys -- Create, view, and revoke API keys for your applications.
- Usage -- Monitor your API call count, see usage trends, and track remaining quota.
- Settings -- Update your account details and password.
Account vs. API Authentication
It is important to understand the difference between these two types of authentication:
| Dashboard (Account Auth) | API (Bearer Token) | |
|---|---|---|
| Used for | Logging into the web dashboard | Making API calls from your code |
| Method | Email + password | API key in Authorization header |
| Where | Browser at add-salz.io | Your server or application |
| Manages | Keys, usage, settings | Text optimization requests |
You sign in to the dashboard with your email and password. Your application calls the API with a bearer token. These are separate authentication flows.
Account Security
- Use a strong password. At least 8 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Do not reuse passwords. Use a unique password for your SALZ account.
- Keep your email current. Password resets and important notifications go to your registered email.
Deleting Your Account
If you need to delete your SALZ account, go to Settings in your dashboard. Account deletion is permanent -- all API keys will be immediately revoked, and your usage history will be removed.
