Account settings is where you change your own details, your password and the way you sign in. It
is a different place from the control panel, which is for administrators.
To open it, click your name in the bottom left corner of the interface and choose
Account settings. Back to your files returns you to the file list.
The page has these sections:
Basic details, with E-mail address under itPasswordTwo-factor authentication, with Passkeys, Authenticator app and Recovery codes under itSessionsConnected appsWhich of them you see depends on what your administrator allows your account to change. If a section described here is missing, your account is not allowed to change that.
The language of the interface and the way the file list looks are not set here. They are chosen by the administrator for the whole installation.
Name — your first and your last name, as other users see them.E-mail address — shown here, changed on its own page. See below.Phone — a phone number, if you want to record one.E-mail notifications — a single switch for the messages FileRun sends you about what other
people do with your files. With it ticked you are told when another user downloads one of your
files, when another user gives you a file or a folder by copying, moving, uploading or sharing it,
and when another user comments on or tags one of your items.Profile image — click the picture to upload a new one. It must be a PNG or a JPG file, and you
can crop it before saving. Reset removes it.Notifications for one particular folder are set elsewhere, by right-clicking that folder. See The e-mail notification system.
Changing your e-mail address takes two steps, because FileRun checks that the new address really reaches you.
Proceed. A verification code is sent to the new address.Proceed again.The code is valid for ten minutes. If you get it wrong five times, the process starts over. An address already used by another account is refused.
FileRun asks you to confirm who you are before letting you open this page.
Type the new password and save.
Two things are worth knowing:
Connected apps.If your account signs in through your organization's login system rather than with a FileRun password, this section is not shown.
Passkeys, Authenticator app and Recovery codes are grouped here. They decide what FileRun asks
for besides your password when you sign in.
Passkeys — sign in with your fingerprint, your face, your device PIN or a USB key. Add one for
every device you use often.Authenticator app — six digit codes from an app on your phone.Recovery codes — ten single-use codes to fall back on if you lose your phone or your key. They
are shown once, so save or print them when you generate them.What each method does, in which order FileRun asks for them, and what to do if you lose access, is described on Two-factor authentication.
The browsers currently signed in to your account, each with the browser and operating system, the IP
address it connects from and when it was last used. The one you are reading this in is marked
This session.
Sign out anything you do not recognize with the button on its row. The session you are using cannot
be signed out from here; use Sign out for that.
Only browser sessions are listed. Applications connected with an app password are under
Connected apps.
The applications that reach your account without a browser: WebDAV clients, the desktop sync app, the mobile apps, and anything that was authorized through the API. Each of them can be cut off from here, one at a time.
An app that you approved in the browser is listed here without you having done anything else. For an app that asks you for a username and a password, this is where you create them. See App passwords.
