# Authentication

> How to log in to your Valuez AI workspace and authenticate API requests.

Valuez AI uses two types of authentication depending on how you're accessing the platform — the **Dashboard** for no-code management, and the **API** for programmatic access.

***

## Dashboard Login

The Valuez AI dashboard is available at [app.valuez.ai](https://app.valuez.ai).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the login page">
    Visit [app.valuez.ai](https://app.valuez.ai) in your browser.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your credentials">
    Enter the email address and password you registered with. If you signed up via Google or another provider, use that option instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access your workspace">
    After login you'll land on your main dashboard where you can manage agents, calls, contacts, and settings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Workspace Security

Your Valuez AI workspace includes the following security features:

| Feature                 | Details                                                                      |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Secure Login**        | All sessions run over HTTPS with encrypted connections                       |
| **Password Protection** | Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text                          |
| **Session Security**    | Sessions expire automatically after a period of inactivity                   |
| **Workspace Access**    | Each workspace is isolated - team members only see what they're permitted to |
| **Role-Based Access**   | Admins can assign roles to control what each team member can view or edit    |

***

## API Authentication

All Valuez AI API requests are authenticated using an **API key** passed in the request header:

```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

### Example Authenticated Request

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl "https://api.valuez.ai/v1/agents" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  response = requests.get(
      "https://api.valuez.ai/v1/agents",
      headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}
  )

  print(response.json())
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const response = await fetch("https://api.valuez.ai/v1/agents", {
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

To generate your API key, see [API Keys](/api-keys).

## Security Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Never expose keys in frontend code">
    API keys must only be used server-side. Never include them in JavaScript that runs in a browser - they can be extracted and misused.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use environment variables">
    Store keys in environment variables, not hardcoded in your codebase:

    ```bash theme={null}
        export VALUEZ_API_KEY="your-key-here"
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Create one key per integration">
    Use a separate key for each system - CRM, automation tool, production app. If one is compromised, you revoke only that key without breaking everything else.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Revoke unused keys">
    Regularly audit your API Keys list and revoke any keys that are no longer in use.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Rotate keys if compromised">
    If you suspect your API key has been exposed, go to **Settings → API Keys** in your dashboard and regenerate it immediately.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
