3. Your account

This chapter explains how to manage your account: change your personal data, set a profile picture, change your email and password, sign out and — if needed — delete your account.

Where to find account settings

You open account settings in two ways:

• by clicking the gear icon (“Settings”) in the menu on the left, or
• by clicking your avatar in the top-right corner and choosing “Settings”.

The settings page has three tabs along the side:

• Personal data — your photo, display name, email, account deletion,
• Email & password — change your email and change your password,
• Workspace — workspace settings (available only to the owner; described in the Workspaces chapter).

Personal data

Profile picture (avatar)

1. In the “Personal data” tab, click the avatar circle.
2. Choose an image file. Supported formats are JPG, PNG or WebP, with a maximum size of 2 MB.
3. The picture is saved and the app shows “Avatar updated successfully”.

To remove the picture, click the “Remove” button next to the avatar.

Display name

This is the name other team members see (e.g. on tasks and comments).

1. In the “Display name” field, type a new name.
2. You don’t have to click anything — the change saves automatically a moment after you stop typing. Next to the field you’ll see “Saving…” and then “Saved”.

Email

Your current email is shown here, but it can’t be changed in this place. To change it, click the “Change email →” link, which takes you to the “Email & password” tab (see below).

Changing your email

1. Go to the “Email & password” tab.
2. In the “Change email address” section, enter:
   • New email — the new address,
   • Current password — your current password (to confirm your identity).
3. Click “Update email”.

After a successful change you’ll see “Email updated successfully”.

Changing your password

1. Go to the “Email & password” tab.
2. In the “Change password” section, fill in three fields:
   • Current password — your current password,
   • New password — the new password (at least 8 characters),
   • Confirm new password — repeat the new password.
3. Click “Update password”.

Below the “New password” field you’ll see a password strength indicator that tells you how strong your password is: Weak, Fair, Good or Strong. The longer the password and the more varied the characters (upper- and lower-case letters, digits, special characters), the better.

After a successful change you’ll see “Password updated successfully”.

Possible messages:

• “Password must be at least 8 characters” — the new password is too short,
• “Passwords do not match” — the “New password” and “Confirm new password” fields differ,
• “Current password is incorrect” — the current password was entered incorrectly.

Recovering a forgotten password

If you can’t remember your password and can’t sign in, use the password-recovery option available on the sign-in screen (a “Forgot your password?” link). Follow the instructions — an email allowing you to set a new password will be sent to your address.

Signing out

1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
2. From the menu choose “Logout”.

You’ll be securely signed out. To get back to work, sign in again.

Deleting your account

If you want to stop using GeoMarkup entirely, you can delete your account.

1. Go to the “Personal data” tab and scroll down to the “Delete account” section.
2. Click “Delete my account”.
3. Two buttons appear — click “I confirm — delete” to confirm (or “Cancel” to back out).

After sending the request you’ll see “Account deletion requested”.
