Registering
Anyone can register a new account from the sign-up page. Orbit validates:
The very first account ever registered becomes an admin; every account after that is a regular member.
Signing in and out
Sign in with your email and password. Signing out is a single click — Orbit doesn’t ask you to confirm before ending your session. By default a session stays valid for as long as you’re active, but you can shorten that from Security & access below.Account settings
Everything covered on this page lives under Settings → account section — open it from the sidebar, or jump straight to a tab with/settings?tab=<tab-id>.
Profile
From the Profile tab you can:- Change your display name — validated inline (3–30 characters), with a “saved” / “unsaved changes” indicator so you always know whether an edit has actually been persisted
- Upload a new profile photo, or reset back to the default avatar
There’s still no way to change your email address through the app. Name, avatar, and password are all self-service now; email is not.
Security and access
From the Security & access tab you can:- Change your password, with live strength-meter feedback as you type
- View every session currently signed in to your account — IP address, browser user-agent string, and when it was last active — and revoke any one of them individually, or revoke every session except the one you’re currently using
- Choose how long a session can stay idle before it’s forced to sign in again: 1 hour, 8 hours, 24 hours, or 7 days. This is enforced server-side — once your last recorded activity is older than your chosen window, the next request signs you out automatically, regardless of what the client does
- Permanently delete your account — the confirmation modal requires typing
DELETEbefore the button activates, since this can’t be undone
Preferences and notifications
Your default issue view, interface theme, and accent color live under Preferences — see Settings and Appearance. Per-type, per-channel notification preferences live under Notifications — see Notifications.Integrations and Export tabs exist in the Settings navigation but aren’t built out yet — they’re shown with a “Soon” badge and aren’t reachable. See Settings for the full list of what is and isn’t available today.
