Getting Started

Account settings

Account settings let users control identity, sign-in recovery, connected accounts, and security from the CollabOS account menu.

Users can manage:

  • display name / full name
  • email address and verification
  • password
  • connected Discord and X identities
  • notification preferences
  • account merge and identity-transfer tools where an ownership conflict exists

Display name

The display name is the public and workspace-facing name shown across CollabOS. It can appear in manager profiles, workspace member lists, assigned manager selectors, hire requests, and activity surfaces.

Adding email to a Discord-created account

A Discord-created CollabOS account may not have a user-set password yet. The user can add an email, verify the email, and then set a password. A current password is not required when the account does not already have one; CollabOS can require recent Discord confirmation for the sensitive action instead.

Changing email

The new email is verified before it becomes the account email. Email/password accounts can confirm the change with the current password. Discord-created accounts without a password can confirm through Discord reauthentication.

Setting or changing password

A Discord-created account can set its first CollabOS password after it has a verified real email. Accounts that already have a password use the normal password-change flow.

Connected identities

An actively connected Discord account, X account, or verified email cannot belong to two active CollabOS accounts at the same time. CollabOS returns an ownership conflict instead of silently moving the identity.

Security

Use a strong password and keep email and Discord access secure. Discord is a CollabOS login method once connected. X is a connected identity but is not a normal CollabOS signup method.
