Your account
Your account is who you are on Notefix: your name, your email address, and the projects you are in. There is no password, then or ever.
Open it from the round button with your initials, at the top of every dashboard page.
Signing in#
Every way to sign in leads to the same account, as long as it is the same email address:
| With | Your account is the one for |
|---|---|
| Continue with Google | your Google account's email address |
| Continue with GitHub | your GitHub account's primary email address |
| Email me a link | the address you type. The link works once, for 15 minutes, and the same email carries a code you can type instead |
The first time you sign in with an address, the account is made. With Google or GitHub, your name comes from there; with a link, Notefix asks for it.
When the link opens in the wrong place#
A link only signs in the browser that opens it, and email does not always open where you are working: the address is on your phone, or your mail app opens a different browser. So every sign-in email also carries a six-character code, and the page waiting for you has a box to type it in. The code does the same job as the link, in the window that asked for it, and each works once in the same 15 minutes.
Your name#
Your name goes on every note you leave. Change it on your account page and press Save.
Where you are signed in#
Your account page lists every browser signed in to the dashboard, and every site where you signed in with Notefix, with when each was last used.
- Sign out, at the top right of any page, signs out this browser.
- Sign out everywhere else signs out every other browser, and every site.
Delete your account#
Delete your account, at the bottom of your account page, opens a page that says exactly what will happen, before anything does. Nothing is deleted until you type your email address and press the button.
What is deleted#
- Your account: your name, your email address, and any sign-in links not used yet.
- Every sign-in: in every browser, and on every site.
- Your email settings, on every project.
- Every project you are the only owner of, with everything in it: its notes, drawings and screenshots, its sites, its people and guests, and its saved connections to GitHub, Jira, Trello and Slack. The Notefix tag on its sites stops working, and everyone else in it loses access. The page names each of these projects, with how many notes are in it and who else is in it.
What is not deleted#
- Projects you share with another owner, or where you are a member. You leave them, and they carry on.
- Notes you left on those projects. They keep your name, so the team keeps its feedback. If you want them gone, delete them there before deleting your account.
- Issues already made in GitHub, Jira or Trello, and messages already sent to Slack or by email. Those are in those tools, and Notefix cannot reach them.
Deleting cannot be undone, and nobody at Notefix can bring an account or its projects back.
Signing in again later with the same address makes a new, empty account.
