Settings & Account

Manage your profile, security, notifications, appearance, and privacy from the Settings page. Access it via the sidebar or the user menu in the top-right corner.

Profile

Display Name

Your name shown to collaborators, in comments, and on the forum.

Avatar

Choose an avatar style (DiceBear) and customize the seed. Your avatar appears in presence indicators, comments, and the forum.

Handle

A unique @handle used for mentions in notes and the forum. Must be lowercase, alphanumeric.

Security & 2FA

Password

Change your password from the Security tab. You'll need to enter your current password first. Password strength is validated in real-time.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Enable TOTP-based 2FA for extra security. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.) and enter the 6-digit code to verify. You can set this up during onboarding or later in Settings → Security.

Save your recovery codes! When you enable 2FA, store the recovery codes somewhere safe. If you lose access to your authenticator app, recovery codes are your only way back in.
