We have added new ways to log in to your CEUniverse account, plus an optional extra layer of protection. They’re designed to make logging in quicker and to better protect your account.
What’s new
Passkeys
A passkey lets you log in with your fingerprint, face, or your device’s screen-lock PIN instead of typing a password. Passkeys can’t be guessed, reused, or stolen in a data breach, and they can’t be tricked out of you by fake look-alike websites. You’ll be offered the chance to set one up the next time you log in.

Magic link
Prefer not to remember a password? Choose Login Via Magic URL on the login page, enter your email address, and we’ll email you a one-time link. Click it to log in. Each link works only once and expires after 10 minutes. Learn more about magic links
Log in with Google
If you already use Google to log in, nothing changes. It remains available, and you can disconnect it from your Google Account at any time. Learn more about Google login
Authenticator app (optional extra protection)
For an added layer of security, you can turn on two-step verification with an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or Bitwarden. After you log in, you’ll enter a 6-digit code from the app on your phone, so a stolen password alone isn’t enough to get into your account. You’ll be offered this option when you log in, and you can choose Not now and set it up later. Learn more about authenticator apps
Why we’re making these changes
Passwords are the most common way accounts get compromised. They get reused across websites, guessed, or leaked in breaches that have nothing to do with us.
Artificial intelligence is making this problem worse. Scammers now use AI tools to write phishing emails and fake login pages that look and sound convincing, without the typos and awkward wording that used to give them away. They can also produce these messages in huge volumes, tailored to individual people. Automated tools can try stolen passwords across many sites much faster than before. Even careful people can be fooled by a message that looks exactly like it came from a company they trust.
Passkeys and magic links are much harder to attack this way. A passkey only works on our real website, so a look-alike page can’t capture it, and there’s no password to steal or guess. Magic links are single-use and expire in 10 minutes, so there’s no reusable password to intercept. Both also save you time and password-reset headaches. We’ve also strengthened our login protections behind the scenes to guard against repeated or suspicious sign-in attempts.
For people who want even more protection, an authenticator app adds a second step that requires something only you have: your phone.
What you need to do
Nothing is required. Your existing login method will continue to work. We recommend setting up a passkey when prompted, since it’s the fastest and most secure option. If you’d like an extra layer of protection on top of your login, you can also add an authenticator app.
