# Account You reach your account settings from the topbar, via the icon with your initials. From that menu you switch between light/dark mode, open your **user settings** (`/user/settings`) and send **feedback** (`/user/feedback`). This page also explains how to recover your password if you can no longer log in. ## User settings The **User settings** page (`/user/settings`) consists of two stacked forms: updating your profile and changing your password. The page is available in every environment.  *Two stacked forms: your profile at the top (name, time zone, date format, language), the password change below it. The dark-mode toggle sits in the same container.* 1. **Profile form** — **Name**, **Time zone**, **Date format** and **Language**. 2. **Update** — saves your profile (`PUT /user/profile-information`). 3. **Password form** — **Current password**, **New password** (at least 12 characters) and **Confirm password** (must match). 4. **Change** — saves the new password (`PUT /user/password`). 5. **Dark-mode toggle** — switch light/dark mode within the container. ### Update profile Adjust the following fields and click **Update**: | Field | Description | |---|---| | **Name** | Your display name. | | **Time zone** | Determines how timestamps are displayed and which time zone is used when you schedule a trigger (see below). | | **Date format** | How dates are shown in the application; this is also stored in your session. | | **Language** | Interface language: `en`, `nl` or `de`. | :::note Email address is not self-editable The **email address** linked to your account is used for password recovery and as the reply-to for feedback. You **cannot** change this address yourself on this page: the settings screen (`UserSettings`) only contains name, timezone, date format and language. An email change goes through an administrator/invitation. ::: ### Change password In the second form you change your password: 1. Enter your **current password**. 2. Enter a **new password** of at least **12 characters**. 3. Repeat the password under **Confirm password** (must match exactly). 4. Click **Change**. ## Time zone and timestamps Your chosen **time zone** determines two things: - **Display** — timestamps in logs, monitoring and overviews are shown in your time zone. - **Triggers** — when you schedule a pipeline trigger, the specified time is interpreted in **your account time zone**. :::warning Trigger time zone = your time zone, not UTC(+1) The trigger scheduling screen shows the hint *"Timezone UTC(+1) will be used"*. That does not match what actually happens: the backend uses the **logged-in user's time zone** (`Auth::user()->timezone`) and converts it to the matching Windows time zone. A trigger you schedule for 08:00 therefore runs at 08:00 in **your** account time zone — so set your time zone correctly here before creating triggers. ::: See [Load management](https://yres.eu/en/wiki/frontend/load-management) for creating and managing triggers. ## Feedback Send feedback directly from the frontend via **Feedback** (`/user/feedback`). The reply goes to the email address linked to your account. Feedback is split into three categories: - **Bug report** — report problems with the application. - **Feature request** — request new or improved features. - **Feedback** — general feedback on Yres or on processes. :::note Feedback email address Feedback from the three in-app categories goes to **feedback@yres.app** (from version 1.56; before that `Feedback@iris-dwh.nl`), with your account address as the reply-to. ::: ## Forgot and recover password If you can no longer log in, use the recovery flow. It consists of two screens: requesting a recovery email (`/forgot-password`) and setting a new password via the link in that email (`/reset-password/:token`).  *Left: "Forgot password" with a single email field. Right: "Reset password" with email, new password and confirmation.* ### Step by step 1. On the login screen, click **"Forgot password?"**. 2. On **Forgot password** (`/forgot-password`) enter your **email address** and click **"Reset password"**. You see the message *"Reset email sent if the account exists"*. Use **"Sign in"** to return to the login screen. 3. Open the **recovery email** and click the link; it takes you to **Reset password** (`/reset-password/:token`). 4. Enter your **email**, a **new password** (minimum 12, maximum 50 characters) and **Confirm Password** (must match). 5. Click **"Reset password"**. On success you are redirected back to the login screen. | Screen | Route | Fields | |---|---|---| | Forgot password | `/forgot-password` | Email | | Reset password | `/reset-password/:token` | Email, Password (min. 12, max. 50), Confirm Password | :::note For security reasons, the recovery-email message does not confirm whether the email address exists: you always get the same confirmation. The `:token` in the reset link is single-use and belongs to the requested recovery email. :::
