OctaWeb Security Update: Discord Login Removed

@Client

Security Updates

Due to recent events involving a friend’s acquaintance’s discord account being hacked, we’re implementing some further security measures effective immediately.

What changes are being made?

Any Support Messages sent to OctaWeb Staff over Discord will be ignored.
Please seek support via official channels - e.g. our Help Guides, Live Chat or Telephone.

We’re removing Discord Login/Signup functionality on the Client Portal from 15/04/2025 from 6PM.
We ask that all customers currently using Discord to login to their accounts to confirm which email address they’re using. If you do not know your password, request a password reset for your next login.

Removing Discord Notifications:
Right now, clients receive a discord message from our Client Portal bot with any account updates, invoices etc. Again, from 15/04/2025, this bot will be taken offline and you will no longer receive these notifications. We recommend ensuring you have access to your email as any future notifications will be sent through this method.

Two Factor Authentication:
Going forward, two-factor authentication will be mandatory for your client portal account. Please set this up as soon as possible. Require support with this? Let us know.

These changes ensure complete security on your online account.

Thank you for your understanding.
The OctaWeb Team

OctaWeb Client Notice: Support & Password Policy

Important Client Reminder


I just want to clear up a few queries and concerns regarding some frequent enquiries we receive.

Discord Support
I want to remind all clients that we do not provide support via Discord DMs. Please do not direct message any team members unless specifically requested by a member of our team. For support, use our live chat facility - this will enable you to reach our first available team member who can assist in resolving your query quickly.

Live Chat Update - Filtering
Our live chat now includes a filter to ensure you have accessed and followed steps in our help articles before reaching out. This helps us maintain high-quality services and keep costs low, passing savings on to you.
Additionally, we cannot provide support for third-party applications. While we try to assist where possible, we are not specialists in all software, and some brands' license conditions prevent us from offering support on their behalf.

Password Security
Lastly, we do not send passwords or password reminders via Discord DM nor do we request passwords via Discord DM. We will never ask for passwords through any method other than our client portal tickets or live chat. We also recommend that you frequently change your VPS password for additional security and do not send this password to anyone else - you are held liable for any action that is taken on your machine as per our terms of service.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

With this change, we’ve had to switch to a different type of Business Account, which means our banking details have changed. We kindly ask that if you usually pay us via Bank Transfer, please update your records with our new details - you can find these on your invoice or an email which you should receive shortly.

Thank you so much for your continued support and for being a part of our journey. If you have any questions or need help with anything, feel free to reach out ❤️
