# Profile and sign-in

> Open Settings, edit your profile, connect Google, change or set a password, see what each change signs out, and delete your account.

## Open Settings

Settings opens from the account menu, as a dialog over the page you are on.

1. Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar.

2. Under **Account**, click **Profile**.

You can also go straight to [app.orbitalaip.com/settings/profile](https://app.orbitalaip.com/settings/profile). To close Settings, click **×** (**Close settings**) at the top right, press Esc, or click outside the dialog.

## How Settings is laid out

The dialog's sidebar opens with your picture, your name and the current workspace. Its pages come in this order:

- **Account**: **Profile** and **Notifications**.

- **Workspace**: **General**, **Billing**, **Usage**, **AI Models**, **Apps**, **Plugins** and **Developers**.

- **Trash**, on its own at the foot of the sidebar.

**Billing**, **Usage**, **AI Models**, **Plugins** and **Developers** appear only to [workspace owners and admins](https://orbitalaip.com/docs/workspace-and-account/members-and-roles). The account menu lists the same **Account** and **Workspace** pages, but not **Trash**. On a narrow screen, a menu at the top of each page replaces the sidebar.

## Your profile

The first card on **Profile** holds four fields:

- **Profile image**: click **Choose** and pick a JPG, GIF or PNG of up to 1MB.

- **Name**: the name shown with your avatar in the sidebar and at the top of Settings.

- **Email**: the address you sign in with.

- **Username**: your unique handle.

There is no Save button. A change saves a moment after you stop typing, when you leave the field, or when you close Settings. The top right of the page shows **Saving…**, then **Saved**. If Orbital refuses a change, the reason shows there instead, for example "Username is already taken." or "Email is already in use."

You can change **Email** only if your account has a password. On an account that signs in only with Google, the field is locked and reads **Managed by Google.** Set a password first to change it.

## How you sign in

The **Sign-in** section of **Profile** has a **Google** row and a **Password** row.

### Connect Google

When Google is connected, the **Google** row shows **Connected**. Otherwise it offers **Connect Google**.

1. Under **Sign-in**, click **Connect Google**.

2. Choose the Google account that uses the same email address as your Orbital account, and allow the sign-in.

3. Google returns you to Orbital, which opens Chat. Back in **Profile**, the **Google** row shows **Connected**.

From then on you can use **Sign in with Google** on the sign-in page, and your password keeps working. **Profile** has no control to disconnect Google.

A Google account with another address does not connect. Orbital opens Chat without a message, and the **Google** row still offers **Connect Google**. If another Orbital account already has that Google account or its address, you are signed in to that account instead. Google is then connected to that account.

### Change your password

If your account has a password, the **Password** row holds a short form.

1. Type your current password in the **Current password** box.

2. Type a new password of at least 8 characters in the **New password** box. It must differ from the current one.

3. Click **Update password**. Orbital shows **Password updated**.

A wrong current password shows "Current password is incorrect."

### Set a password

An account that signs in only with Google has no password. Its **Password** row says so and offers **Set a password**. A password lets you sign in with your email address, without Google.

1. Click **Set a password**. Orbital emails a link to your address and shows **Check your email**.

2. Open the email with the subject "Reset your Orbital AIP password" and follow its link. It opens the **Reset your password** page.

3. Enter a **New Password** of at least 8 characters, and repeat it under **Confirm New Password**.

4. Click **Reset Password**. The page shows **Password reset** and says you were signed out on every other device. This browser is signed out too.

5. Click **Sign in**. Use your email and the new password, or Google.

The link works once and expires after 1 hour. Requesting another link cancels the first.

## What signs you out

To sign out:

1. Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar.

2. Click **Sign out**.

This table shows where each action signs you out:

| What you do | Where it signs you out |
| --- | --- |
| Update password in Profile | Every other device. This browser stays signed in. |
| Set or reset a password from an emailed link | Every device, including the browser you used |
| Sign in with Google, while signed out, to a password account that has never connected Google or used a reset link | Every other device. The account's API keys are revoked and its password is removed. |
| Sign out from the account menu | This browser only |
| Delete your account | Every device |

> [!NOTE] Keys and Claude keep working
> A password change or reset leaves your API keys and Claude connections working. Revoke a key under **Settings** → **Developers**, as in [API keys](https://orbitalaip.com/docs/workspace-and-account/api-keys). End a Claude connection by removing the **Orbital AI** connector in Claude, as in [Connect Claude to Orbital](https://orbitalaip.com/docs/claude-and-chatgpt/connecting).

## Delete your account

**Delete account** sits under **Danger zone** at the foot of **Profile**.

> [!WARNING] Deleting is permanent
> Your account and its data go at once. Nothing is kept in **Trash**, and the deletion cannot be undone.

1. Click **Delete** next to **Delete account**. A confirmation opens in its place.

2. Under **Type your email address to confirm**, type your account's email address. Capital letters do not matter.

3. If your account has a password, enter it under **Confirm your password**. A Google-only account has no password box: the typed address is the confirmation.

4. Click **Delete my account**. It stays disabled until the address matches and any password is filled in.

A wrong password shows "That password is incorrect." When the deletion succeeds, Orbital signs you out on every device and opens the sign-in page.

Deleting removes:

- your account, your API keys and your Claude connections

- every workspace you own that has no other members, usually just **Personal**

- everything in those workspaces: dashboards, workflows, agents, chats and documents

- any subscription, which is cancelled

In a workspace someone else owns, your membership ends. The workflows, agents, dashboards and watchlists you created there are deleted. Notes and comments you wrote on symbols there stay for the other members.

### If you own a shared workspace

Orbital refuses while you own a workspace with other members, and lists each one under **Transfer these workspaces first**. Hand each to another owner or remove its other members, then try again. Settings has no Members page, so write to [hello@orbitalaip.com](mailto:hello@orbitalaip.com) for help.
