Can I Share My SpeakerMatch Account with Another Person?
SpeakerMatch accounts are limited to one login username (email address). However, we understand that assistants, managers, or copywriters often need access to the same profile.
If someone else in your organization (such as your assistant) needs to log into your SpeakerMatch account, you’ll need to share your login credentials with them.
SpeakerMatch uses Twilio Verify for secure login. When you log in, a unique security code is generated. To share your account, you just need to share your login email address and one of the code access channels with your authorized user.
⚠️ Security Tip:
Only share login access with individuals you trust. Anyone who logs in using your credentials will have full access to your account, including the ability to modify/view billing information, edit your profile, and apply for opportunities.
🔐 How to Share Access via Different Channels
1. The Email Channel (Best for Teams)
Share access using a Group Email Address (like office@yourcompany.com) as your SpeakerMatch login.
How it works: The verification code is emailed to the group address.
Benefit: Everyone in that group receives the code simultaneously.
Setup: See the "Recommended Workaround" section below.
2. The Phone Channel (Voice or SMS)
Voice Call: Twilio calls the verified phone number on your account and an automated voice reads the code aloud. If you use a shared office line or a VOIP system (like RingCentral or Grasshopper) that rings multiple people, anyone who answers can hear the code.
SMS: The code is texted to a verified mobile phone number.
3. The Authenticator App Channel (Best for High Security)
If you use an app like Google Authenticator, you can "clone" the access.
How it works: When you first set up the app on SpeakerMatch, you are shown a QR Code.
The Secret: If you have your assistant scan that same QR code on their phone at the same time you do, both phones will generate the exact same login codes.
✅ Recommended Workaround
Use a Group Email Address to Share Access
If you have a Google account, you can create a Google Group email address. You'll use the group’s email address as your SpeakerMatch login. Similarly, if you’re on Microsoft 365 or another email platform, you can set up a distribution list.
Setting up a group email account allows everyone in the group to:
Receive the verification code needed to log in
See SpeakerMatch emails such as job alerts, system messages, and renewal notices
🔐 Important: Anyone with access to the group inbox can receive login codes and log into the account. For this reason, only trusted team members should be added.
🔧 How to Set It Up
Google Group (anyone with a Google account can set this up)
Go to Google Groups
Click Create Group
Name your group and choose an email (e.g., speakers@googlegroups.com)
Add members (yourself, your CEO, assistant, etc.).
Members do not need a Gmail email address or a Google account.Choose Email List as the group type
Important: After the group is created, open Group settings and set:
Who can post: Anyone on the web
This ensures SpeakerMatch login codes and system emails are delivered.Use the group email address as your SpeakerMatch login email
NOTE:
If “Anyone on the web” is not available, a Google Workspace administrator may
need to enable external email for groups at the domain level.
Troubleshooting Google Groups When Sharing Your SpeakerMatch Account
Microsoft 365 Distribution List
Ask your IT admin to create a distribution list (e.g., speakers@yourcompany.com)
Add authorized users
Set permissions to allow external services (like SpeakerMatch) to send email
Use this distribution address as your login email on SpeakerMatch
⚠️ Keep in Mind
If someone logs in while another session is active, it may force the first user out.
Everyone in a group inbox can access the verification code, which means they can access the account.
Always be cautious about who has access to your group or distribution inbox.
🔄 What If We Need Separate Accounts?
SpeakerMatch accounts are tied to a single user identity. If multiple people within your organization need to apply for events as separate speakers, each will need their own subscription and profile.
