Your account settings let you manage your profile, security, and study preferences. Access settings from the user menu in the top-right corner of any page.

Profile Settings

  • Display name — The name shown on your profile, certificates, and leaderboard. You can change it at any time.
  • Email address — Your login email. Changing it requires re-verification.
  • Profile picture — Upload a custom avatar or use your Google/GitHub profile picture.
  • Bio — A short description visible on your public profile (optional).

Password & Security

  • Active sessions — See all devices where you are currently logged in. You can revoke access to any session.

Study Preferences

  • Daily flashcard limit — Set how many new flashcards to introduce per day (default: 10). Increase for faster progress or decrease if reviews are piling up.
  • Timezone — Set your local timezone. This affects when your study streak resets and when daily reviews are scheduled.
