The IndieMade Dashboard is where you edit your site and your site settings. You can edit some things directly on your website but the majority of your work will be done on the Dashboard.
You can have multiple sites with IndieMade and each of the sites is managed separately on its own Dashboard and log-in. Please note that the majority of the time your username (your email) and password will be the same across sites but they can be different if you reset or change your password.
Your custom domain, IndieMade URL, and payment subscription are managed at Account.IndieMade.com for all sites you have with IndieMade.
If you ever have issues logging in simply use the 'Request new password' at Account.IndieMade.com to access your account information or the 'Forgot?' link on your actual IndieMade website.
