PreVeil Express is a web application that allows for the creation and usage of a PreVeil Express account. A PreVeil Express and a full PreVeil account differ in that a PreVeil Express account is used solely on a web browser and is intended for light use of the PreVeil system while a full PreVeil account requires client software installation and carries a range of features.

PreVeil Express account log in uses multi-factor authentication in form of a password and SMS verification code.

A PreVeil Express account’s private key is encrypted by the password and PreVeil does not store, nor does it have access to passwords. For this reason, PreVeil Support is unable reset or recover a password. Similarly, the mobile phone number for MFA cannot be changed.

Create an account

A PreVeil Express account is formed by opening a web browser and going to https://web.preveil.com/login.




Click on Create a new account.




Enter a regular email address that will be set as your PreVeil User ID.

An automated email from verification.no-reply@preveil.com with a six-digit code will be sent.



Enter the code in the verification code field and continue.



Enter your first and last name and agree to the terms of use.



Set a password. The password must be at least eight characters long and have at least one number and one capital letter. Note that the password is permanent and cannot be changed. Please keep your password in a place. PreVeil does not store and cannot recover your password.



Enter a nine-digit mobile phone number that will be used to send a SMS one-time verification code. Note that the phone number cannot be changed.



Enter the verification code received by SMS.



The account is now activated.



Logout

To close a PreVeil Express user session, point the mouse cursor to your name, in the drop-down menu click Logout.

A session will terminate if the browser tab is closed or automatically after a consecutive 24 hour period.
