# Account settings

> Your own Skyvex Software account. Your profile and leaderboards, password and two-factor authentication, Discord, theme and date format, emails, and deleting your account.

Account settings are about you, not your airline: your name and photo, how you sign in, what we email you and how Console looks for you. Open them from your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Settings**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **At a glance**
>
> * Turn on two-factor authentication under **Password and security**, and keep your recovery codes somewhere safe.
> * **Appear on leaderboards** (in **Profile**) takes you off My flying's leaderboards at every airline.
> * Connect Discord under **Connections** to sign in with it and get your roles in the Skyvex Software Discord.
> * Choose what we email you about in **Notifications**. Account, security, billing and legal emails always go out.

While you're in settings, the sidebar lists the sections, with **Search settings** at the top (Enter opens the first match) and **Back to** your airline above it.

![Account settings on Profile: the settings sections down the left, the name, email and photo card, and Appear on leaderboards](https://mintcdn.com/skyvexsoftware/bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu/images/screenshots/account/settings-profile-light.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu\&q=85\&s=ad9cdd0f4b35ad06a0accb882a75ffd0)

Most sections need a verified email address. Until you've confirmed yours, only **Profile** and **Appearance** open; the others send you to confirm it first.

## Profile

Your **Name** and **Email** are how you appear to airline staff and in support conversations. Press **Save** after changing them. A new email address gets a link to confirm it, and the field shows **Verified** once it's confirmed (or **Unverified · Resend link** until then).

**Upload photo** adds a profile picture: JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 2MB. **Remove** takes it off again.

### Appear on leaderboards

This switch puts your name on the leaderboards in [My flying](/console/my-flying-and-logbook.md) at every airline you fly with. It works both ways: turned off, other pilots don't see you on their leaderboards, and you don't see theirs. You still see your own place on Stratos, your stats, streaks and gold days. It saves as soon as you flip it, and the leaderboards catch up within a few minutes.

## Password and security

### Change your password

Enter your **Current password**, then the **New password** twice, and press **Update password**. A new password needs at least 12 characters, with upper and lower case letters, a number and a symbol, and mustn't have turned up in a known data breach.

### Turn on two-factor authentication

With two-factor authentication on, signing in asks for a code from your authenticator app as well as your password.

1. Press **Turn on** on the **Two-factor authentication** row.
2. Enter your password when asked. Managing two-factor authentication needs a recent password confirmation.
3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, or enter the setup key by hand, then press **Continue**.
4. Enter the 6-digit code from the app to finish.

![Password and security: the password form, and the Two-factor authentication row with Turn on](https://mintcdn.com/skyvexsoftware/bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu/images/screenshots/account/settings-security-light.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu\&q=85\&s=ea6948a2e2f2d87517c0a9c9203d8cf0)

If you close the window before finishing, the button reads **Continue** so you can pick up where you left off. **Turn off** turns it off again.

### Keep your recovery codes

Recovery codes get you back in if you lose the device with your authenticator app. Once two-factor authentication is on, press **Recovery codes**, then **View recovery codes**, and store them in a password manager. Each code works once and is removed after use. **Regenerate codes** replaces the whole set, so the old ones stop working.

## Connections

**Connections** links a Discord account to your Skyvex Software account. Once it's connected you can sign in with Discord, and you get your roles in the Skyvex Software Discord.

1. Press **Connect** on the **Discord** row.
2. Enter your password and press **Continue to Discord**. A connected Discord account can sign in to your account, so we check it's you first.
3. Approve the connection on Discord. You come back to **Connections**, showing **Connected as** your Discord name.

![Connections: the Discord row, Not connected, with Connect](https://mintcdn.com/skyvexsoftware/bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu/images/screenshots/account/settings-connections-light.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu\&q=85\&s=5e5a143bf64f62759e95769391dd1720)

When it's connected, **Sync** brings you back into the server with your roles (after you've left it, say) or refreshes them. **Disconnect** removes the link: that Discord account loses its roles and can't sign in until you connect it again.

Your account has one Discord account. If you connect a different one, we ask before replacing the old one. If the Discord account is already linked to another Skyvex Software account, you can move it here, which unlinks it there and emails that account's owner.

## Appearance

**Theme** is **Light**, **Dark** or **Match my system**. It applies on this device only; Stratos has its own theme setting.

**Date format** decides how dates written with slashes read, including ones you type, like a snooze date on a support ticket. **Automatic** follows your time zone (month first in the US and the Philippines), or choose **Day first** or **Month first**. The date format is saved to your account, so it follows you to every device.

## Emails

**Emails** lists the emails we've sent you in the last 12 months, newest first. **View** opens our copy, as it was sent. Each email's reference is at the bottom of it, which helps if you contact us about one. Some emails, like sign-in links, only worked for a short time, so we don't keep a copy you can open.

## Notifications

**Notifications** chooses what we email you about. Each switch saves as you change it.

![Notifications: Roadmap items you follow with its three switches, and the Support switch](https://mintcdn.com/skyvexsoftware/bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu/images/screenshots/account/settings-notifications-light.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bs1lqmNtmj0XilDu\&q=85\&s=c58a6cd8943df400251b8f74ff34b872)

| Group | What you can choose |
| - | - |
| **Roadmap items you follow** | **Moved to Planned**, **Shipped or Not planned** and **New comments**, for the [roadmap items](/console/roadmap-and-whats-new.md) you follow. Every roadmap email also has a link to unfollow that item. |
| **Support** | One switch for every support email, then each airline you're on the staff of, with **New support tickets** (an email when a pilot opens a ticket). It starts on for the airline's owner and off for other staff. With **Support** off, nothing in this group is sent. |
| **Your flying** | **Milestones**: emails from your flying, like your first flight. |
| **Always sent** | **Account**, **Security**, **Plugins**, **Billing** and **Legal**. These are about your account and what you've agreed to, so they can't be turned off. |

Support emails go to your account's email address. Other staff choose their own.

## Developer

**Developer centre** adds the Developer centre and your plugins to the sidebar, for building plugins for Stratos with the plugin SDK. Your API tokens live in the Developer centre too. Turn it off if you don't build plugins and want a shorter sidebar.

## Legal

**Legal** lists the terms and policies you've accepted, with the date you accepted each one. Each opens the document.

## Delete account

**Delete account** permanently removes your account, and can't be undone. Press **Delete account**, enter your password and confirm.

If you own an airline, transfer it to someone else or schedule its deletion first, in the airline's **Settings → Transfer or delete** (see [Transfer or delete an airline](/console/transfer-or-delete.md)). Until then the button is turned off. If you've scheduled an airline's deletion, deleting your account removes that airline, its pilots and flights straight away.
