Recommended Software
Browsers
You should be able to use any modern standards-compliant browser to access the billing platform. Due to the amount of information being displayed, we recommend using a desktop browser, rather than a mobile device, but it is possible to use a mobile device if necessary. The browsers listed below are free to use.
Google Chrome
The Chrome browser is available for both desktops (Windows, Mac and Linux) and smartphones (Android and iOS).
Firefox
The Firefox browser is available for both desktops (Windows, Mac and Linux) and smartphones (Android and iOS).
New Microsoft Edge
The new Microsoft Edge browser is available for both desktops (Windows, Mac and Linux) and smartphones (Android and iOS). If you are using an older Microsoft browser, such as Microsoft Edge Legacy or Internet Explorer, you should upgrade.
In all cases, you should keep your browser up-to-date as older versions may be less reliable and/or have security issues.
Password Managers
We recommend that you use a password manager (for all your online passwords, not just for the billing platform). They are capable of producing secure random passwords and storing them securely and are often able to share them amongst your devices. Some browsers will contain a built-in password manager. The password manager listed below is free to use, though it has paid upgrades available.
Bitwarden
Bitwarden is available as a browser extension, as a standalone desktop application (Windows, Mac and Linux), on smartphones (Android and iOS) and through their website.
Two-Factor Authenticators
Using a Two Factor Authenticator makes your account more secure, as it means that if someone finds out your password they will still not be able to access your account without your 2FA code. These codes change every 30 seconds, and can be generated using an authenticator. The password manager listed above can also be use to generate 2FA codes, but we recommend not using the same software to store both your password and 2FA codes. The authenticators listed below are free to use, though they may have paid upgrades available.
Authy
Authy is available as desktop software (Windows, Mac and Linux) and on smartphones (Android and iOS). It can (optionally) sync your tokens between devices.
Google Authenticator
Google Authenticator is only available as a smartphone app, for Android and iOS. Tokens are stored only on the device, meaning they cannot be restored if the device is lost. In this instance you will need to use a backup code to disable 2FA.
