# Account security: passwords, passkeys, and sessions

> Manage sign-in security for your Flowella account: passwords, passkeys, backup sign-in methods, active sessions, and signing out of every device at once.

The **Settings → Account** screen is where you manage the security side of your Flowella user — how you sign in, your backup sign-in methods, and signed-in sessions. It is separate from your [Profile](/settings/profile) (name, avatar, locale) and from organization-level settings.

If you signed up using a magic link or SSO, Flowella may show a banner that reads:

> You are signed in without a password. Add one for backup sign-in.

That banner links here. Adding a password or passkey gives you a backup way in if email delivery is delayed or you lose access to the original sign-in method.

## Opening Settings → Account

From the left navigation click **Settings**, then choose **Account** under the **Personal** section of the settings sidebar.

## Sign-in methods

Flowella supports three ways to sign in. You can have more than one active at a time — they're cumulative, not exclusive.

### Magic link (default)

Flowella emails a one-time sign-in link when you enter your email on the login page. The link is valid for a short window and can only be used once.

Magic link is always available — you cannot disable it. For full details, see [Logging in to Flowella](/account/login).

### Password

Click **Set password** (or **Change password** if one already exists) to manage a password for your account.

**Password requirements**

* At least 12 characters.
* A mix of letter cases and at least one number or symbol.
* Cannot match your last 5 passwords.

After a successful password change, Flowella signs out all other sessions on your account and sends an `AUTH_PASSWORD_CHANGED` notification to your email.

<Info>
  If you signed up via magic link and have never set a password, the button reads **Set password** instead of **Change password**. This is the recommended backup sign-in method.
</Info>

### Passkeys

If passkeys are available for your account, you'll see a **Passkeys** section listing devices that have a registered passkey, with the option to register a new one or remove an existing one.

Passkeys use your device's biometric or hardware authentication (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, hardware security key) so you don't need to type a password or wait for a magic link.

## Active sessions

The **Active sessions** panel lists every device currently signed in to your account, with:

* Device and browser fingerprint
* IP address (truncated)
* Last activity timestamp
* A **Sign out** action

Sign out individual sessions if you see one you don't recognise. **Sign out of all sessions** revokes every session except the one you're using.

<Tip>
  If you suspect a session you don't recognise, sign out of it, change your password, and contact support so we can audit the account.
</Tip>

## Email address

Your email is the primary identifier for your Flowella account and the address the magic link is sent to.

<Warning>
  Your email address is **not changeable** from this screen — contact support if you need to change it, so we can verify the new address and migrate any pending invites.
</Warning>

## Deleting your account

To delete your Flowella user account, contact support. Account deletion is separate from removing yourself from an organization — see [Team](/settings/team) for the workspace-level action.
