Password and security

Keep your account safe with a strong password, and sign out on shared computers. All of this lives in Preferences (the account menu at the bottom of the left menu).

Change your password​

  1. Open Preferences. You land on Profile.
  2. In the Security box, click Change Password.
  3. Type a New Password, then type it again in Confirm New Password.
  4. Click Update Password.

Use at least 8 characters, with a capital letter and a number. You don't need your old password, so never leave Stackly open on a shared computer.

Add a password if you signed up with Google or GitHub​

Accounts made with Google or GitHub have no password at first. To also sign in with your email and a password:

  1. Sign in with Google or GitHub.
  2. Follow the steps in change your password above.

From then on you can sign in either way. If you can't sign in at all, use Forgot password? on the sign-in page to set one by email. See create your account.

Sign out​

  1. Click your name at the bottom of the left menu.
  2. Click Log Out.

If you ticked Keep me signed in, you stay signed in for 7 days. Otherwise it's 1 day.

Check who did what​

You can see a record of actions in the workspace under Preferences → Audit Logs. See audit logs.

Delete your account​

Only the account Owner can do this.

  1. Open Preferences → Account.
  2. Scroll to Danger Zone and click Delete Account.
  3. Confirm in the window that opens.
caution

This deletes the whole workspace: your team members' logins, links and visiting cards. It can't be undone, and your short links stop working.

Good to know​

  • Stackly has no list of signed-in devices or "sign out everywhere" button. If you think someone else knows your password, change it straight away.
  • Team members who aren't the Owner see Owner only instead of the delete button.

Troubleshooting​

  • The password won't save → The form accepts 6 characters, but Stackly needs at least 8. Make it longer.
  • "Passwords do not match" → Type the same password in both boxes.
  • "It looks like you registered with Google or GitHub" → You haven't added a password yet. Sign in with Google or GitHub, or use Forgot password?.
