Node Verification
To verify your node and gain access to customization features, you must sign a login message using your lightning node. This signed message will then be checked, along with you node's pubkey to cryptographically prove you are the owner.
There are many tools and options for signing a message with your node. Two popular examples are Thunderhub IO and Ride The Lightning. Examples can be seen below:

Node Verification in detail
After signing and submitting your signed message, Exponential Layers receives the message via SSL/TLS to our Azure infrastructure and checks the message by sending the request to our Voltage Lightning Node infrastructure (using an LND gRPC API call). Assuming the verification check is successful, Exponential Layers issues two secure browser cookies (your node pubkey and signed message) which are valid for 30 days. The signed message is never stored server side. To access your verified node from another browser, simply enter the pubkey and signed message for your node to be taken to the customization page.
