Settings and your account

Open Settings under Tools, or from the person button at the top right.

Account

  • Your name: shown to people you share with and to your organizations.
  • Email address: to change it, enter the new address and your master password; we email a code to the new address to confirm it, and tell the old one. Your vault is not re-encrypted; nothing else changes.
  • Fingerprint phrase: the five words people compare with you when they share with you or confirm you in an organization.

Security

  • Master password: change it by entering the current one and the new one twice. Only one value is re-encrypted, so it is quick. You can sign out all your other devices at the same time. If an organization you belong to sets master password rules, the new one must meet them.
  • Two-step login and devices: see Two-step login and devices.
  • Key strength settings: how hard your master password is to attack if the encrypted vault were ever stolen. Changing them is a master password change with the same password.

Preferences

  • Vault timeout: how long the vault may sit idle before it locks or signs you out, and which of the two.
  • Clipboard: how long copied passwords and codes stay on the clipboard (30 seconds by default).
  • Theme: Obsidian, Daylight or Tactical.
  • Website icons: show the websites' icons next to your logins. Icons are fetched through our service, so the websites never see your network address. Turning this off stops all icon lookups.

Plan

Your plan, and Start 30-day free trial (no card needed; one trial per account) or, once the trial is used, Upgrade to Premium, billed yearly. During a trial the page shows when it ends, and Add payment details opens Stripe's billing page to add a card so Premium carries on. Once you pay, Manage payment details opens the same page, where you change your card, see receipts or cancel. See Plans.

Delete account

Deletes your account and your personal vault for good, after you enter your master password. Export your vault first if you want to keep anything (see Importing and exporting). If you are the only owner of an organization, delete it or make someone else an owner first.
