Fansly Management Session Setup
Set up a secure management session for FBuddy integration
What is a Management Session?
Management Sessions are Fansly's official way to allow trusted third-party applications like FBuddy to access your account data without sharing your login credentials.
As Fansly describes it: "Management Sessions allow you to share a link with someone you trust to allow them to log into your account without sharing your login information."
Privacy & Security: FBuddy works with the minimum permissions needed. Most features are read-only. The Auto Messages feature is optional and requires the "Send Messages" permission in your Management Session. You stay in control and can disable it anytime.
Navigate to Fansly Management
Go to the Fansly Management page to create a new session.
Open Fansly ManagementCreate New Session
- Click the "Create Session" button
- Enter a label for the session (e.g., "FBuddy")
- You'll be prompted to enter your 2FA code
Note: Keep your 2FA code private. Never share it with anyone, including FBuddy support.
Configure Permissions
Permission checklist
For Smart Lists, keep every permission OFF. You do not need any permission set to ON.
Using Auto Messages too? If FBuddy should also send automatic DMs on your behalf, set "Send Messages" to ON and keep every other permission OFF.
Security Note: The following actions are permanently blocked for all management sessions: viewing/creating management sessions, payout methods, account sessions, and account deletion.
