Security boundaries

Code-substantiated review and change-control boundaries.

Adding user accounts and login to your app

If your app needs people to sign up and log in, OCNexus can build that in. Secure user accounts are one of the standard pieces it includes, so your customers can create an account, log in, and have their own space in your app.

Just mention it when you describe your app — "people need to sign up and log in", or "each customer should see only their own data" — and OCNexus sets it up. Sign-in is built to be secure from the start, so the information your users trust you with is protected.

You can also add it later. If your app does not have logins yet and you decide you need them, just ask, and OCNexus will add accounts to your existing app.

How the Forge keeps your code safe

The Forge never pushes changes directly to your main branch. Every change it makes happens on its own separate branch first, exactly the way a careful engineer on your team would work.

Once a fix is ready, the Forge opens it as a pull request so you can see exactly what would change before it goes anywhere near your live code. Your main branch stays untouched until you decide to merge.

Because nothing lands without your review, you are always able to say no, ask for changes, or simply leave a pull request unmerged. Your production code is never at risk of an unreviewed change slipping in.

Signing in and fixing sign-in problems

OCNexus uses your GitHub account to sign in. That means there is no separate OCNexus password to create, remember, or reset — you log in with GitHub, and GitHub handles the password.

If you cannot sign in, work through these in order: - Make sure you are signed in to GitHub in the same browser. - Confirm you are using the same GitHub account you originally signed up with. If you have more than one GitHub account, it is easy to land on the wrong one. - If you forgot your GitHub password, reset it on GitHub directly — OCNexus cannot reset it for you because it is not an OCNexus password. - If you signed in before and it suddenly stops working, OCNexus may need you to re-approve access to GitHub. See "Connecting your GitHub account".

If you have tried these and still cannot get in, contact support and we will help you get back into your account.
