Your account & signing in

By default you can sign in with an emailed one-time code: enter your email, receive an 8-digit code, and type it on the sign-in screen — no password to remember, and the email deliberately contains no sign-in link. If you would rather use a password, you can set one and both methods will keep working. On the web sign-in page, the eye icon at the end of the password field shows or hides what you typed, and switching between Password and 'Email me a code' keeps the email address you entered — no retyping.

1. 1Open your account page from the navigation.
2. 2In the password section, enter a new password.
3. 3Save. From now on you can sign in with either your password or an emailed code.

Ida OS follows your device's appearance by default, and you can override it. On the web, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Light mode or Dark mode. In the mobile app, the Account tab has an Appearance setting with System, Light, and Dark options.

One exception: the sign-in screen — on the web and in the iPhone app — always uses the light look, whatever your device or appearance setting says. Your appearance choice applies everywhere else once you are signed in.

On the app, the Account tab also holds a Security section where you can turn on biometric unlock. Once enabled, reopening the app asks for Face ID (or Touch ID) instead of your password — faster, and your account stays protected if someone else picks up your phone.
