# Account settings

> Manage your profile, password, and appearance.

Account settings is where you manage your personal details and how the app looks. These settings are tied to your user account, not to a brand, so they follow you wherever you work.

## Opening settings

Settings has its own left nav, separate from the main app sidebar. It lists:

* **Profile** at `/settings/profile`
* **Password** at `/settings/password`
* **AI access** at `/settings/ai-access`
* **Billing** at `/settings/billing`
* **Appearance** at `/settings/appearance`
* **Listening** at `/settings/listening`

Click **Back to Dashboard** at the top of the settings nav to return to the app.

This page covers **Profile**, **Password**, and **Appearance**. AI access and Listening are documented separately (see the cards at the end).

## Profile

The **Profile** tab holds your name and email address.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Edit your details">
    Update the **Name** and **Email address** fields. Both are required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. A **Saved** confirmation appears briefly once the change is stored.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If you change your email address, the new address starts out unverified. When email verification is in effect, the Profile tab shows a "Your email address is unverified" message with a link to re-send the verification email.
</Note>

### Delete account

Lower on the Profile tab is a **Delete account** section.

<Warning>
  Deleting your account is permanent. All of its resources and data are removed and this cannot be undone.
</Warning>

To delete your account, click **Delete account**, then enter your password in the confirmation dialog and confirm. Click **Cancel** to back out.

## Password

The **Password** tab lets you set a new password for your account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter your current password">
    Type your existing password in the **Current password** field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a new password">
    Enter the new password in **New password**, then repeat it in **Confirm password**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save password**. A **Saved** confirmation appears when the update succeeds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use a long, random password to keep your account secure. If the current password is wrong or the two new-password fields do not match, the form shows an inline error and your entries are cleared so you can try again.
</Tip>

## Appearance

The **Appearance** tab controls the app's theme.

</Frame>

Pick one of three options:

* **Light** uses the light theme.
* **Dark** uses the dark theme.
* **System** follows your device's theme setting and switches automatically when it does.

Your choice applies immediately, with no Save button. The setting is stored per device, so each browser or computer you sign in from keeps its own preference.
