Your profile and account
Everything about your own account is on one page. Open the account menu (your avatar) and choose Profile settings.
Profile information
Change your Profile picture, Name, Email, Phone (optional) and Bio (optional), then click Save. Your name and picture are what teammates see on issues, comments and mentions.
If you change your email address, you confirm the new address again with the link Brainitive sends you.
Signing in
Depending on how your Brainitive is set up, the login page offers:
- Email and password, with Remember me and Forgot your password?
- Continue with Google
- Continue with GitHub
- Continue with Microsoft (Outlook.com and Microsoft 365)
You can use a provider and your email address side by side: signing in with Google, GitHub or Microsoft using the same verified email address opens the same account.
Only ever signed in with Google, GitHub or Microsoft?
Your account then has no password you know. If you need one — for example to change your password or delete your account — use Forgot your password? on the login page to set one.
After several failed login attempts in a row, the account is locked for a while to protect it from password guessing.
Update your password
Under Update password, enter your Current Password, a New Password and Confirm Password, then click Save. Use a long, random password.
Changing your password also disconnects every connected app (AI connectors, the browser extension and the CLI).
Notifications and offline
- Notifications – choose per category whether you hear about things in the app, by push or by email, manage your push devices and the morning task summary. See Notifications.
- Offline – work without internet on this device. See Offline mode.
Connected apps
Connected apps lists the AI connectors (MCP), the browser extension and the command-line tool that can access your account, and what each may do ("Read and write your content", "Save pages, links and notes", "Full access (CLI)"). Click Disconnect to remove one; it loses access right away. See AI and MCP.
Your data
Your data → Download my data prepares a ZIP with everything Brainitive holds about your account. See Import and export.
Your time zone
Brainitive takes your time zone from your browser, so reminders, the morning summary and due times follow your local time. When you travel, it updates automatically.
Delete your account
Under Delete account, click Delete Account and confirm with your password. This can't be undone.
What happens:
- Your account and personal data are deleted: profile, settings, memberships, watches, notifications, connected calendars and apps.
- Work you created in workspaces other people use stays there. Issues, docs, boards, task lists and other content are handed over to the owner of each workspace, so your teammates don't lose anything. Other people's replies to your comments are kept; your own comments are removed.
- Workspaces only you use are deleted together with your account.
You own a workspace others use?
Then Brainitive won't delete your account yet. First hand the workspace over or delete it: an instance administrator can transfer its ownership to someone else (see Instance admin), or you delete it under Workspace settings → Danger zone.
Before you delete your account, consider downloading your data.
