The profile page is the central place for everything related to your own account.
Choosing your language
In the "Language" section you pick the language the portal UI and our emails use when talking to you — German or English. Select the language and click "Save language". The choice takes effect immediately.
Changing your display name
The display name is the friendly name shown to you in the portal UI (for example in "Welcome back, Anna"). It has no technical significance. Login works via email.
Type the new name (up to 200 characters) in the field and click "Save name". The change takes effect immediately without signing in again.
Changing your email address
Two-step process to keep your account safe even if a session is active on an unattended device.
- Enter the new address and click "Send confirmation link".
- An email with a confirmation link is sent to the new address.
- Click the link while you are signed in to the portal in the same browser. Only then is the old address replaced.
Until you click the link your old address remains active — you can still sign in with it and password resets go to it. While the change is pending, the profile page shows a warning banner with the pending address ("Pending confirmation: ...").
The link is valid for 24 hours. If it expires, simply request a new one on the profile page.
What if the new address is already taken
If someone else already has an account with the desired address, you receive the error "Another account already uses that address".
If the address was once used by you and that account was then deleted, you receive "This address can no longer be used" — see Delete account.
If you enter the address you are already using, you receive "That's already your current address" and nothing changes.
Changing your password
In the "Password" section of your profile:
- Current password, your existing password as a security check.
- New password, at least 12 characters, mixed case, one digit.
- Confirm new password, must match the new password exactly.
After a successful submit the password is changed immediately.
Deleting your account
In the "Delete account" section of your profile:
- Type your email to confirm, prevents accidental deletion.
- Current password, as a second security factor.
After clicking "Delete my account" you additionally confirm a browser dialog before anything happens. Then:
- Your user record is removed
- All your subscriptions are hard-deleted
- All API keys are permanently deleted — ongoing CI pulls receive 401 on the next call
- A salted hash of your email address is added to a blacklist so that no one (including you) can open a new account with the same address.
Afterwards you are signed out and redirected to the homepage, where a confirmation notice is shown.
More details at Delete account and Privacy and GDPR.
Status banner
After most actions a banner appears at the top of the profile page describing the result — green for success, red for errors, yellow for warnings. Exception: account deletion redirects you to the homepage, where the confirmation appears instead. The status is attached to the URL as a query parameter — if you want to dismiss it, just click your user card (avatar and name) at the bottom of the sidebar to reload the profile page.
