Settings

The Settings screen is where you review your account details, change your password, and delete your account. Open it from the dashboard sidebar (/settings).

Account Information

The Profile section shows your account details:

Field	Description	Editable
Name	Your display name, shown in the dashboard header and sidebar	No (display only)
Email	The email address associated with your account	No (display only)

Name and email are not self-service editable in the current version. If you need to change your registered email, contact your instance administrator.

Change Password

To update your password (you must know your current one — there is no email-based reset):

1. Open Settings and find the Change Password section
2. Enter your current password — this verifies your identity
3. Enter your new password — at least 8 characters
4. Re-enter the new password in the confirm field
5. Click Update Password

Password requirements

• At least 8 characters
• At least one letter and at least one number (symbols allowed but not required)
• The form shows validation errors inline (e.g. if the two new-password fields don't match)

After a successful change, a fresh token is issued and your current session stays active — you don't need to log in again. Existing API keys are unaffected.

Password Change Errors

Error	Solution
Current password is incorrect	Double-check your current password
New passwords don't match	Ensure both new-password fields are identical
Password too short	Use at least 8 characters

API Keys

API keys are managed on their own API Keys screen, not here. See the dedicated API Keys guide for creating, using, and revoking keys.

Deleting Your Account

Account deletion is self-service from the Settings screen:

1. Open Settings and scroll to the Delete Account section
2. Type the confirmation phrase delete my account exactly
3. Click the delete button to confirm

This cannot be undone

Deleting your account permanently removes all your shortlinks, analytics, API keys, bio pages, domains, and webhooks. Any shortlinks you created will stop resolving.

Security Recommendations

• Use a strong, unique password — avoid reusing passwords from other services
• Change your password periodically — especially if you suspect unauthorized access
• Audit your API keys — review the API Keys screen and revoke any you no longer recognize
• Log out on shared devices — always log out when finished on a public or shared computer
• Check for HTTPS — verify your lnkify instance uses HTTPS
