In your account you set how you appear in maebe and how you sign in. Unlike a team, your account belongs only to you – the settings here apply everywhere, in every team you work in.
You open your account via your profile picture – on a computer at the bottom of the icon bar, otherwise at the bottom of the menu. It's split into sections: Profile, Security, Plan & extras, Appearance and Notifications, and below them, under More, things like the newsletter and support.
Name & profile picture
Your name appears everywhere you show up in a team: on comments, in activity and next to your approvals. Enter it so colleagues recognize you right away.
You upload your profile picture under Profile via Choose image. After uploading, you can crop it to the right framing before you save. A recognizable picture makes it easier for your team to place you in lists and comments.
Email address
Your email address is your sign-in name and the way maebe reaches you – for notifications and invitations, for example. You can change it under Profile – just like your first name, last name and language, you save it with Save in the bar at the bottom.
When you change it, we send a confirmation link to the new address. It only takes effect once you click that link – until then, you keep signing in with your current address. Your current address also gets a short notice, so you'll know if someone else started the change.
Note: If you use the same address for several teams, you'll get all your messages bundled into one inbox.
Changing your password
You change your password under Security. To do so, enter your current password and then the new one twice. If you like, you can sign out all other devices and AI connections at the same time – handy if you suspect someone knows your password. Security is also where you set up two-factor authentication.
This keeps your access secure:
- Choose a long, unique password that you don't use anywhere else.
- Change it immediately if you suspect someone knows it.
- Never pass your password on – for collaboration there are team invitations, not a shared login.
Color scheme
Under Appearance you pick your account's color scheme – maebe, Teal, Lavender or Orange. One click on a preview card is all it takes; your choice is saved right away. It applies outside your teams; inside a team, that team's color scheme wins, so you always see which team you're in.
What you control where
Profile and security live in your account. Who has which rights in which team is set per team instead. Which messages reach you and how is something you decide under Setting up channels.
