Account settings and preferences
Manage your Privatus Analytics account: profile, password, passkeys, two-factor sign-in, theme, timezone, email preferences, data download and deletion.
These settings belong to you, not to a workspace. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar to open them. The page has three tabs: Profile & preferences, Security and Affiliate program (see Affiliates).
| Section | What's there |
|---|---|
| Profile | Name, email and timezone. A new email address takes effect once you open the confirmation link sent to it |
| Security | Password, authenticator app with recovery codes, passkeys, signed-in browsers, login history and connected Google and GitHub accounts. See Security |
| Preferences | Theme (system, light or dark), the page that opens after you log in (All sites or the last site you viewed), language, keyboard shortcuts on or off, reduce motion |
| Product updates and tips, marketing emails such as onboarding tips, and the monthly newsletter. Alerts and email reports are set up per workspace, and account and security emails are always sent | |
| Your data | Download a copy of your account data (JSON), or delete your account |
Profile, Preferences and Email are one form on the first tab, saved with a single Save button. The language applies to the app while you're signed in. Public pages use the language in their address.
Security#
Account settings → Security holds everything about how you sign in. It only works in a signed-in browser, not with an API token.
| Section | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Password | Change your password by entering the current one and a new one of at least 10 characters. Your other browsers are signed out when it changes. If you signed up with a login link, Google or GitHub and have no password, use Set a password by email |
| Authenticator app (2FA) | Turn on a second step at login with an app such as 1Password, Authy or Google Authenticator. When it's on, the section shows how many recovery codes you have left, New recovery codes replaces them, and Turn off asks for your password |
| Passkeys | Add a passkey (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello or a security key) under a name of your choice. A passkey signs you in and also counts as a second factor. The list shows when each was added and last used, with Remove |
| Signed-in browsers | Every browser where you're signed in, with its browser and operating system, IP address, when it signed in and when it was last active. Sign out ends that session. The one you're using is marked This browser |
| Login history | The last 30 days of sign-ins (up to 50): time, browser, IP address and whether the session is still active or signed out |
| Connected accounts | Connect or disconnect Google and GitHub as ways to sign in, with the date each was connected |
Two-factor authentication walks through setting up an authenticator app, recovery codes and passkeys.
If a workspace you belong to requires two-factor authentication and you have neither an authenticator app nor a passkey, a notice at the top of the page names the workspace and asks you to set one up.
Note: The IP addresses on this page are your own sign-ins, kept for account security. Visitors' IP addresses are never stored.
Deleting your account#
Delete account is at the bottom of the first tab. Type your email address to confirm. Deleting removes your login, memberships, API tokens and passkeys.
The form lists the workspaces you own. They are deleted with your account, and their subscriptions are canceled. If one of them has other members, either transfer ownership to another member first (the form links to the Members page) or tick Also delete the workspaces I own that have other members.
API#
Your profile, preferences and email settings are GET and
PATCH /account (MCP: account_get, account_update). The
API reference lists every input.
Changing the email address, turning marketing emails back on, deleting the account and everything on the Security tab need a signed-in browser. An API token can't do them.
