Teachable account sharing prevention with Rupt

Teachable has no built-in account sharing or password sharing protection. Rupt adds it with a single script tag: paste it into Teachable's logged-in code snippets, add a policy in the Rupt dashboard, and Rupt detects concurrent sessions, challenges the extra viewer, and logs unauthorized devices out. No server code required.

This guide assumes you've already chosen Rupt and want to wire it into Teachable. For the background on why account sharing happens and how detection works, see Account sharing prevention.

Step 1: Add the Rupt script to Teachable

The script loads on every page, reads the signed-in Teachable user on its own, and triggers a challenge when one of your policies fires.

In Teachable, go to Site → Code Snippets → Logged in snippets, paste this in, and save:

<script
  src="https://cdn.rupt.dev/integrations/teachable/1.1.0/teachable.js"
  data-client-id="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
  async
></script>

Swap xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx for your client ID from the Rupt dashboard. There's nothing else to wire up.

Rupt's Access protection handles detection, the challenge, owner verification, and device capping on the client. No extra code on your side.

Step 2: Configure your account sharing policies

Policies are what actually catch sharing. Without at least one policy on the access trigger, the script runs but never challenges anyone.

A policy has a trigger (the event it runs on) and a verdict. In your policies dashboard, add a policy on the access trigger that challenges when it sees concurrent sessions or too many devices. The Account sharing prevention guide has the exact policies to start from.

Set the challenge success URL to your signup or offer page so the extra viewer can start their own subscription.

If no sessions show up in your dashboard after a few logins, check that the script is in Logged in snippets (not the logged-out snippet) and that the client ID matches the one in your Rupt dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Does Teachable prevent account sharing? Teachable has no native account sharing or password sharing protection. You add it by installing Rupt, which detects concurrent sessions and challenges unauthorized viewers through a script in Teachable's logged-in code snippets.

How do I stop password sharing on Teachable? Add the Rupt script under Site → Code Snippets → Logged in snippets, then create an access policy in the Rupt dashboard that triggers on concurrent sessions. Rupt handles detection, the challenge, and device logout automatically.

Does Rupt work with Teachable's existing login? Yes. The Rupt script reads the signed-in Teachable user from the page, so no changes to Teachable's login or school setup are needed. It loads with async, so it doesn't block your pages.
