Your account

Account settings gathers what belongs to you alone. On a computer, open it from your avatar, at the very bottom of the sidebar; on a phone, through More → Preferences → Account settings. Five tabs: My profile, My access, Notifications, Password, Delete account.

The account settings

The My profile tab carries your details — name, address — then two settings that apply at once:

  • Language — French or English. It drives the interface and your emails.
  • Appearance — Light, Dark or System. The theme is local to this device: it does not follow your account from one screen to the next. On a phone, the same setting also lives in More → Preferences → Appearance, and it stays available offline.

Change it here — current password required. An account born from Google has none: it keeps signing in with Google, which is normal.

As a precaution, after ten unrecognized passwords within fifteen minutes — at sign-in as well as here — attempts are paused for that account: Verifline shows “Several passwords weren’t recognized” with how long to wait. Try again afterwards, or use “Forgot your password?”.

The address changes in the profile — and confirmation starts over: a link goes out to the new address, and until it is clicked, the gestures requiring a proven address are limited again. That is the price of an address that means something.

The My access panel answers “what am I allowed to see, and why?”: your role, your sites (pinned or inherited), your groups, the templates open to you — the same reading as “What they see”, but about yourself.

The Notifications tab carries your email preferences.
