Adform users can access the Adform platform through a dedicated log-in site (id.adform.com). The site ensures secure authentication and verifies that the user account credentials (username and password) belong to an Adform account.
To log in:
-
Go to https://www.adform.com.
-
On the right side of the main menu bar, click Log In.
-
Make sure that you're at https://id.adform.com.
-
In the login area, enter your username and password.
-
If you're using a private device, select the Remember My Login checkbox to store your credentials on this device.
Important
Don't select this checkbox when using a public device to log in.
-
Click Log in.
-
If you use two-factor authentication (2FA) for this account, enter the code from your authentication app. (See how to enable 2FA authentication in Learn About Account Security.)
Note
If you're on a private device, plan to log out and log in again soon. If you don't want to enter 2FA codes for a limited time (365 days), select the Trust this device checkbox before entering the code.
By default, your account management session will last for 3 hours. If you actively manage your account within the last 90 minutes, it'll be extended for 3 more hours, or until it reaches a maximum of 24 hours, whichever comes first. If you're inactive for 90 minutes, the session will automatically end.
If your password isn't accepted, Adform locks the account after several unsuccessful tries. Adform uses two lockout levels:
-
Temporary: Locked out for 1 minute after five incorrect password entries. You can try again after 1 minute.
-
Permanent: Locked out until resolved after twenty incorrect password entries (4 sets of temporary lockouts). The assumption is that these many attempts to log in show a hostile attack.
Important
Adform can change lockout thresholds without prior notice.
Once Adform permanently locks the account, it sends a notification to the email address associated with your account. The message has instructions to unlock and access the account. To unlock your account, you need to click the reset link or change your password. For more information, see Change or Reset Your Password.
Note
You also get a notification with a temporary lockout, but you don't have to reset your password.
The notification includes information such as:
-
Username for your Adform account
-
Geographical location of the attempted access
-
IP address of the attempted access
-
Browser (including version) used with the attempted access
