Account Settings

Your account settings control how SetGet looks and behaves for you personally. From here you can update your profile, customize the interface, manage security, configure notifications, and generate API tokens.

To access account settings, click your avatar in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar and select Profile & Settings.

Profile

Your profile is visible to other members of your workspace. Keep it up to date so teammates can identify you easily.

Display name

Your display name appears on work items you create, comments you write, chat messages, and anywhere your identity is shown.

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Profile.
2. Edit the Display Name field.
3. Click Save.

TIP

Use your real name or a recognizable alias. A clear display name helps teammates identify you in notifications, mentions, and activity logs.

Email address

Your email address is used for sign-in, notifications, and password recovery.

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Profile.
2. Edit the Email field.
3. A verification email is sent to the new address.
4. Click the verification link to confirm the change.

WARNING

Changing your email address requires verification of the new address. Your old email remains active until verification is complete. If you lose access to both email addresses, contact your workspace admin.

Avatar

Your avatar appears next to your name throughout the interface.

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Profile.
2. Click on your current avatar or the avatar placeholder.
3. Upload a new image (JPEG, PNG, or GIF; max 2 MB).
4. Crop and adjust the image.
5. Click Save.

If you do not upload a custom avatar, SetGet generates one from your initials.

Preferences

Preferences control the look and feel of SetGet for your account. These settings do not affect other workspace members.

Theme

Switch between light and dark modes, or let SetGet follow your system preference.

Option	Behavior
Light	Light background with dark text
Dark	Dark background with light text
System default	Follows your operating system's theme setting

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Preferences.
2. Select your preferred Theme.
3. The change applies immediately.

Timezone

Your timezone affects how dates and times are displayed throughout the application — due dates, activity timestamps, cycle dates, and notifications.

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Preferences.
2. Select your Timezone from the dropdown.
3. Click Save.

TIP

SetGet detects your timezone automatically on first sign-in. If you travel frequently, you may want to keep it set to your team's primary timezone for consistency.

Start of week

Choose which day starts the week in calendar views and date pickers.

Option	Week starts on
Sunday	Sunday
Monday	Monday
Saturday	Saturday

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Preferences.
2. Select your preferred Start of Week.
3. Click Save.

Language

SetGet interface language can be configured from the preferences panel.

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Preferences.
2. Select your preferred Language from the dropdown.
3. The interface reloads in the selected language.

Available languages depend on the current release. English is always available.

Display preferences

Additional display options:

Setting	Description
Compact mode	Reduces spacing in lists and views for denser display
Show item previews	Show description preview in list view
Default work item layout	Choose your preferred default view (list, board, etc.)
Emoji reactions style	Choose between native OS emoji and SetGet emoji set

Security

Security settings protect your account from unauthorized access.

Change password

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Security.
2. Click Change Password.
3. Enter your Current Password.
4. Enter and confirm your New Password.
5. Click Update Password.

Password requirements:

Requirement	Details
Minimum length	8 characters
Character types	Must include letters and numbers
Maximum length	128 characters

WARNING

Changing your password signs you out of all other devices and sessions. You will need to sign in again on your phone, other browsers, and any API clients using session authentication.

Manage sessions

View and revoke active sessions across all your devices.

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Security > Active Sessions.
2. Review the list of active sessions.

Each session shows:

Field	Description
Device	Browser and operating system
IP address	The IP address of the session
Location	Approximate geographic location
Last active	When the session was last used
Current	Whether this is the session you are using now

3. Click Revoke next to any session to sign it out immediately.
4. Click Revoke All Other Sessions to sign out everywhere except your current session.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA adds a second verification step when signing in, significantly improving account security.

Enabling MFA

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Security > Multi-Factor Authentication.
2. Click Enable MFA.
3. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.).
4. Enter the 6-digit code from the app to verify.
5. Save the recovery codes in a secure location.

WARNING

Recovery codes are shown only once. Store them safely — they are needed if you lose access to your authenticator app. Each recovery code can be used only once.

Disabling MFA

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Security > Multi-Factor Authentication.
2. Click Disable MFA.
3. Enter your current password and a valid MFA code to confirm.

Lost authenticator access

If you lose access to your authenticator app:

1. Use one of your recovery codes to sign in.
2. Once signed in, disable MFA and re-enable it with a new authenticator setup.
3. If you have no recovery codes, contact your workspace admin to reset MFA on your account.

Notification preferences

Control which events generate notifications and how they are delivered.

1. Go to Profile & Settings > Notifications.

Notification channels

Channel	Description
In-app inbox	Notifications appear in the SetGet notification inbox
Email	Notifications are sent to your email address
Browser push	Notifications appear as browser alerts
Mobile push	Notifications appear on your mobile device

Notification categories

Configure each category independently for each channel:

Category	Default channels	Description
Assigned to me	Inbox, Email, Push	When a work item is assigned to you
Unassigned from me	Inbox	When you are removed as assignee
Mentioned in comment	Inbox, Email, Push	When someone @mentions you
Comment on my item	Inbox, Email	When someone comments on an item you own
State change on my item	Inbox	When an item you own changes state

Cycle start/end	Inbox	When a cycle you are part of starts or ends
Due date approaching	Inbox, Email	When an item you own has a due date within 24 hours

Muting channels

You can mute specific chat channels or project notifications without changing your global settings:

• Mute a chat channel — Right-click the channel in the sidebar and select Mute.
• Mute a project — Go to the project settings and toggle Mute Notifications.

TIP

Use channel-level muting for high-traffic channels that you want to check on your own schedule rather than receiving real-time alerts.

API tokens

API tokens let you authenticate with the SetGet API from external tools, scripts, or integrations.

Creating a token

1. Go to Profile & Settings > API Tokens.
2. Click Create Token.
3. Enter a name for the token (e.g., "CI Pipeline", "Backup Script").
4. Select the permissions for the token (read, write, or admin).
5. Optionally set an expiration date.
6. Click Create.
7. Copy the token immediately — it is shown only once.

Token properties

Property	Description
Name	A label to identify the token's purpose
Permissions	Read, Write, or Admin
Expiration	Optional expiry date; tokens without expiry persist indefinitely
Created	When the token was generated
Last used	When the token was last used for authentication

Managing tokens

• View tokens — The token list shows all active tokens with their names, permissions, and last used dates.
• Revoke a token — Click Revoke next to any token to invalidate it immediately.
• Rotate a token — Create a new token, update your integrations to use it, then revoke the old token.

WARNING

API tokens have the same access level as your account (within the permissions you select). Treat them like passwords. Never share tokens in public repositories, documentation, or chat messages.

Token best practices

1. Use descriptive names — Name tokens after their purpose so you can identify them later.
2. Set expiration dates — Short-lived tokens reduce risk if compromised.
3. Use minimum permissions — Give each token only the access it needs.
4. Rotate regularly — Replace tokens periodically as a security practice.
5. Revoke unused tokens — Delete tokens for integrations you no longer use.
