What it's for: managing your own account details, password, and security settings.

Who sees it: everyone, but only for their own account — you can't view or change anyone else's profile from here. An administrator manages other people's access from User Management instead.

Where to find it: your account/profile menu, usually in a top corner of the screen.

Updating your details

  1. Open Profile.
  2. Update your name, phone number, or job title.
  3. Click Save.

Only your name is required — everything else, including a signature (drawn or uploaded, used if your company prints signatures on documents), is optional. Your email address and the company's timezone aren't changed from here: your email is fixed by an administrator, and the timezone is an organization-level setting under Settings.

Changing your profile picture

Go to Profile and upload a new image. It needs to be a PNG, JPG, or WEBP file, and no bigger than 5MB.

Changing your password

  1. Go to Profile → Change Password.
  2. Enter your current password (or, if you originally signed up through Google and never set one, you'll create your first password here).
  3. Type your new password and confirm it.
  4. Save. As a safety measure this signs you out everywhere else you're logged in — your current device stays signed in.

Security section

  • Two-factor authentication: turn it on or off, or get fresh backup codes — see Login and Authentication for the full steps.
  • Active sessions: see every device currently signed into your account, and sign out any you don't recognize.
  • Recent sign-in history: your most recent login attempts, both successful and failed — worth a glance if something feels off.
  • Delete account: permanently delete your own account. Your organizations keep their records; see Delete Your Account before you start.

API keys (for integrations)

If your company connects other software to BareLedger, you can create personal API keys under Profile → API keys. Each key has a label you choose, either read-only or read-write access, and an optional expiry date. A key acts with exactly your own permissions — never more — and can't be used to create further keys. Treat a key like a password: anyone holding it can act as you. You can revoke a key anytime.

Common mix-ups

  • Forgetting that changing your password signs you out of your other devices — you'll just need to log back in there.
  • Trying to change someone else's name or role from your own profile — that's not possible here; an administrator does that from People.
