Plan Requirements: Private dashboards are available on Team and Enterprise plans. Checkly account login is exclusive to Enterprise customers.

Important: We don’t store passwords in plaintext. If lost, you’ll need to generate a new password and update all users with the new credentials.

​
Accessing Protected Dashboards

Protected dashboards work with both access methods: Password Authentication (Team and Enterprise plans)
  • Available on custom domains and default https://[dashboardId].checkly-dashboards.com URLs
  • Use the generated password to access the dashboard
Checkly Account Login (Enterprise only)
  • Available only on default https://[dashboardId].checkly-dashboards.com URLs
  • Click “Login with Checkly” and sign in with your existing account
  • Supports all authentication methods (Google, GitHub, username/password)
Remember that dashboards are public by default. Always review which checks and data you’re exposing before sharing dashboard URLs with external audiences.
