Giving us access, explained
A practical guide to granting Chykalophia secure access to your website, hosting, and online accounts — so we can do our best work for you.
- Difficulty
- Beginner
To build, maintain, and improve your digital presence, we sometimes need access to your accounts and systems. This section explains exactly what we'll ask for, why we need it, and how to share it safely.
You do not need to be technical to work through any of this. Each guide is a short set of steps you can follow in your own account, at your own pace.
Quick summary
When we ask for access to your accounts, there is always a clear reason. We use delegate access (a separate login or invitation) wherever possible, so you never have to share your personal password. When in doubt, the account to invite is support@chykalophia.com — unless your project lead has given you a different address.
Where to go next
Pick the line below that sounds most like you.
I know which tool I need to share
Go straight to the access directory (A–Z) and find your tool by name.

The checklist of everything we usually need, in the order we need it.
I'm not comfortable with this yet
What we do with access, what we never do, and how it stays yours.
What we will and won't ask for
We will ask for: an invitation to your account under our own email address, with the smallest role that lets us do the work; sometimes a licence key for software you have already bought.
We won't ask for: your personal password (unless the platform offers no other option, and then only through a password manager or an expiring link); your two-factor codes; your card or bank details; or access to accounts that have nothing to do with the work.
If a request ever looks wrong to you, stop and check with your project lead before sharing anything.
