🔐 Authentication

The dashboard uses username and password authentication with secure server-side sessions.

First-Time Registration

1. Visit the dashboard URL (e.g., http://localhost:7000)
2. You'll see a registration screen
3. Choose a username and password
4. Click Register
5. Log in with your new credentials

Login

• Enter your username and password
• Optionally check "Remember me" to stay logged in for 3 hours (uses localStorage)
• Without "Remember me", your session lasts only until you close the browser (uses sessionStorage)

Password Security

• PBKDF2 hashing — 100,000 iterations with SHA-512
• Random salt — Unique per password
• Server-side sessions — Passwords never stored in browser, only session tokens
• Timing-safe comparisons — Prevents timing attacks on password verification

Rate Limiting

To prevent brute-force attacks:

• 5 failed login attempts → 15-minute soft lockout
• 20 failed login attempts → Hard lockout (requires service restart)
• Rate limits are in-memory and reset when the service restarts

🔑 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Add an extra layer of security with time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).

Enabling MFA

1. Log in to the dashboard
2. Go to the Security page (sidebar)
3. Click "Enable MFA"
4. A QR code appears — scan it with your authenticator app:
   • Google Authenticator (iOS, Android)
   • Authy (iOS, Android, Desktop)
   • Microsoft Authenticator (iOS, Android)
   • 1Password, Bitwarden, or any TOTP-compatible app
5. Enter the 6-digit code shown in your app to verify
6. MFA is now active! 🎉

Using MFA

Once enabled, every login requires:

1. Your username and password (as usual)
2. A 6-digit TOTP code from your authenticator app

• Codes refresh every 30 seconds
• The dashboard accepts codes with ±1 window tolerance for clock drift (30 seconds before/after)

Disabling MFA

1. Go to the Security page
2. Click "Disable MFA"
3. Enter your current 6-digit TOTP code to confirm
4. MFA is now disabled

Resetting MFA (if locked out)

If you lose access to your authenticator app (lost phone, uninstalled app, etc.):

1. SSH into your server
2. Run this command to clear the MFA secret:
   root@kitploit:~

   node -e "const fs=require('fs');const c=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('/root/clawd/data/credentials.json','utf8'));delete c.mfaSecret;fs.writeFileSync('/root/clawd/data/credentials.json',JSON.stringify(c,null,2));console.log('MFA cleared')"
   

3. Restart the dashboard:
   root@kitploit:~

   systemctl restart agent-dashboard
   

4. Log in with just your username and password
5. Re-enable MFA with a new QR code

Important: Adjust the path /root/clawd/data/credentials.json if your workspace is elsewhere.

🔓 Password Recovery

Forgot Password?

If you forget your password:

1. Click "Forgot password?" on the login screen
2. Enter your recovery token (see "Finding Your Recovery Token" below)
3. Set a new password
4. Log in with your new password

Finding Your Recovery Token

The recovery token (DASHBOARD_TOKEN) is printed when the server starts. You can find it in several places:

Check Server Startup Logs

journalctl -u agent-dashboard | grep "Recovery token"

Output:

🔑 Recovery token: 3e6b91f352418b486a9aa9d82fbbc1b1

Check Systemd Override Config

cat /etc/systemd/system/agent-dashboard.service.d/override.conf

Look for:

Environment=DASHBOARD_TOKEN=3e6b91f352418b486a9aa9d82fbbc1b1

Check Environment Variable

If you set it manually:

echo $DASHBOARD_TOKEN

Changing Your Password

To change your password while logged in:

1. Go to the Security page
2. Enter your current password
3. Enter your new password
4. Click "Change Password"
5. All other sessions are invalidated (you'll need to log in again elsewhere)

Complete Account Reset (Nuclear Option)

If everything is locked and you can't log in:

1. SSH into your server
2. Delete the credentials file:
   root@kitploit:~

   rm /root/clawd/data/credentials.json
   

3. Restart the dashboard:
   root@kitploit:~

   systemctl restart agent-dashboard
   

4. Visit the dashboard — the registration screen appears
5. Create a new account from scratch

Warning: This deletes your username, password, and MFA settings. Memory files and audit logs are not affected.

🛡️ Security Features

The dashboard is built with security best practices:

• PBKDF2 password hashing — 100,000 iterations, SHA-512, random salt
• Timing-safe comparisons — Prevents timing attacks on token/password verification
• Server-side sessions — Session tokens stored in memory, passwords never sent to browser
• Rate limiting — Unified rate limiter for login attempts (5 soft / 20 hard lockout)
• HTTPS enforcement — HTTP blocked except from localhost and Tailscale (100.64.0.0/10)
• Security headers:
  • HSTS — Force HTTPS on future visits
  • CSP — Content Security Policy (no inline scripts, same-origin)
  • X-Frame-Options: DENY — Prevent clickjacking
  • X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff — Prevent MIME sniffing
  • X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block — Legacy XSS protection
• Audit logging — All auth events and destructive actions logged to data/audit.log
• CORS — Same-origin only, no wildcard (*) allowed
• Input validation:
  • Service whitelist for logs and actions
  • Path traversal protection for file access
  • Payload size limits (1MB max)
• Automatic backups — .bak files created before overwriting workspace files

🌐 Network Security

The dashboard is designed for local or Tailscale access:

Recommended Access Methods

1. Localhost — Access from the same machine: http://localhost:7000
2. Tailscale — Access from your Tailscale network: http://100.x.x.x:7000
   • Tailscale provides automatic TLS encryption (MagicDNS + HTTPS)
   • Tailscale IPs (100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255) are exempt from HTTPS enforcement
3. Local network — Access from LAN (use HTTPS or set DASHBOARD_ALLOW_HTTP=true)

HTTPS Enforcement

By default, the dashboard blocks HTTP access from non-local IPs. Exemptions:

• Localhost (127.0.0.1, ::1)
• Tailscale IPs (100.64.0.0/10)

For other networks, the dashboard requires HTTPS or the X-Forwarded-Proto: https header (from a reverse proxy).

To allow HTTP from all IPs (not recommended):

DASHBOARD_ALLOW_HTTP=true node server.js

Don't Expose to Public Internet

This dashboard is NOT hardened for public internet exposure. While it has authentication and rate limiting, it's designed for private networks. If you must expose it:

• Use a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) with HTTPS
• Add IP allowlisting
• Consider VPN (Tailscale, WireGuard) instead

🛠️ Troubleshooting

"Too many failed attempts"

Problem: You see "Too many failed login attempts. Please try again later."

Solutions:

• Wait 15 minutes for the soft lockout to expire
• Restart the service to clear rate limits:
  root@kitploit:~

  systemctl restart agent-dashboard
  

• Rate limits are in-memory and reset on restart

Can't log in after password change

Problem: Your password was changed but you can't log in.

Solution: Use the "Forgot password?" flow with your recovery token to set a new password.

MFA code not working

Problem: The 6-digit TOTP code is rejected.

Solutions:

• Ensure your phone's clock is synchronized:
  • iOS: Settings → General → Date & Time → Set Automatically
  • Android: Settings → System → Date & Time → Automatic date & time
• TOTP codes have ±30 second tolerance for clock drift
• Try entering the next code (wait 30 seconds for it to refresh)
• If still failing, reset MFA via SSH (see "Resetting MFA" section)

Dashboard not loading

Problem: Browser shows a blank page or connection error.

Solutions:

1. Check service status:
   root@kitploit:~

   systemctl status agent-dashboard
   

2. Check logs:
   root@kitploit:~

   journalctl -u agent-dashboard -n 50
   

3. Verify port:
   root@kitploit:~

   curl http://localhost:7000/api/auth/status
   

   Should return:
   root@kitploit:~

   {"authenticated": false, "requiresRegistration": false}
   

"HTTPS required" error

Problem: Browser shows "HTTPS required. Access via localhost, Tailscale, or enable HTTPS."

Solutions:

• Access via localhost: http://localhost:7000
• Access via Tailscale: http://100.x.x.x:7000
• Set DASHBOARD_ALLOW_HTTP=true in environment (not recommended):
  root@kitploit:~

  # Add to /etc/systemd/system/agent-dashboard.service.d/override.conf
  Environment=DASHBOARD_ALLOW_HTTP=true
  
  # Reload and restart
  systemctl daemon-reload
  systemctl restart agent-dashboard
  

Blank page after update

Problem: Dashboard shows a blank page after pulling new code.

Solutions:

• Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (macOS)
• Clear browser cache for the dashboard URL
• Check browser console (F12 → Console tab) for JavaScript errors
