# Establishing Trust for Emotiv Certificates

The Emotiv software suite is composed of multiple modules that communicate through a secure websocket protocol. To ensure the security and integrity of these communications, it is imperative that users must trust the Emotiv certificates. This process is facilitated through the following steps:

1. At the screen shown below, enter your admin username and password.
2. Click on "Update Settings" to establish trust for the certificates.

**Important:** If this step is bypassed or cancelled, the software will encounter operational issues, and the installation process will be aborted.

**Automatic Trust Update:** On certain systems, you may not encounter this step, as the trust settings for the certificates may be updated automatically.
