The user menu offers the possibility to change the profile data, billing method and to switch to a dark theme.
Profile
The profile form offers the possibility to change at any time the first or last name, email or password. Currently the only parameter is the timezone in which the dates should be shown on the page.
Two factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection to your account. In addition to your password, you verify your identity with a time-based one-time password (TOTP) generated by mail or an authenticator app when enabled. It must be enabled by clicking the button and can be disabled at the same location. Then it reverts back to email authentication. You will be asked only every 7 days for extra authentication.
When you click Enable, you will:
- See a QR code to scan with your authenticator app.
- Be shown a set of backup codes (for use if you lose access to your device).
Keep your backup codes safe, each can be used only once and are displayed only once. If you have used all your backup codes, they can be regenerated at any time.
Supported authenticator apps
Our TOTP implementation follows the industry standard RFC 6238, which is supported by virtually all authenticator apps. You can use any of the following:
- Google Authenticator – Android, iOS
- Microsoft Authenticator – Android, iOS
- Authy – Android, iOS, desktop
- FreeOTP / FreeOTP+ – Android, iOS
- Aegis Authenticator – Android

- 1Password – cross-platform
- Bitwarden – cross-platform
- LastPass Authenticator – Android, iOS
- Dashlane – cross-platform
- Keeper – cross-platform
