Profile, e-mail, password, two-step verification, backup codes, signing out and deleting your account.
Your account is personal and applies to every organization you belong to. Here you change how you appear to your team, change your e-mail and password, turn on two-step verification and, if needed, delete the account. Since the account gives access to real cities’ bots, stores and money, it’s worth turning on the authenticator app.
In Settings → Profile (how you appear to your team in the dashboard):
| Group | Field | What it does | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account | Photo | Shown in the dashboard and in your team’s activity. Change profile photo or Use initials. | PNG, JPG or WebP |
| Account | Name | How your team sees you | 2 to 64 characters |
| Account | Discord | Optional. Shown on your profile. | 2 to 32 characters: lowercase letters, numbers, _ or . |
| Language | Language | The dashboard’s language for you. It doesn’t change what your team sees. Applies right away. | Português (Brasil) or English |

I lost the phone with my authenticator app. Sign in with a backup code (Use a backup code on the sign-in screen). Then turn the app off and on again in Security.
I sign in with Discord. Why am I asked for a password? The password confirms it’s you before changing your e-mail, turning on two-step verification, transferring or deleting something. Create one in Security → Create password.
I got a “password changed” e-mail and it wasn’t me. Reset the password with Forgot your password?, change it and turn on the authenticator app. If you can’t sign in, contact support.
