Your profile and Account settings

Your profile is what your crew sees on trips, ballots, and in chat: your photo and name appear on trip cards, voter lists, and messages. Account also brings your personal Limbo settings together below your Travel recap, map, and travel-friends preview. This article explains the identity and security controls and points you to the other Account tools.

Who can do what: everything here is your own account, so any member can change it. Nobody else, not even a trip owner, can edit your profile for you.

Getting to your account

1. 1
   On the Home screen, tap your avatar in the top-right corner. Account opens directly.

The Name, Email, and Password rows edit in place: tap a row and it expands into its input fields, with a check to save and an X to cancel where the pencil was.

Avatar

If you have not added a photo, your Home and Account avatar uses the Limbo cockatoo. Its outfit may change for a seasonal theme, such as Halloween or Thanksgiving. Seasonal artwork works with both light and dark appearance settings. Your own uploaded photo stays in place during seasonal changes.

Tap your avatar in the Travel recap card to change your photo. On your phone, Limbo asks for photo-library access the first time, then lets you pick a picture and crop it. The new photo uploads right away and replaces your avatar everywhere: shared trips, voter lists, and chat. In a browser, choose a file from the file picker. Wait for the success message before leaving Account. If you sign out or switch accounts before choosing a photo, open the picker again after signing in. Updating your photo keeps your other Account preferences unchanged.

Name

Tap the Name row and type your full name in one field. A name is required and cannot be blank. Limbo treats the first word as your first name and everything after it as your last name. Tap the check to save.

Email

Your email is how you sign in and where trip invites and email notifications arrive. To change it:

1. 1
   Tap the Email row.
2. 2
   Enter the new address twice: New Email and Confirm Email must match.
3. 3
   If your account has a password, enter it to confirm it's really you.
4. 4
   Tap the check to save.

Limbo sends a verification link to the new address. Until you tap that link, your current address stays as your login and the Account screen shows the new address as pending. You can cancel a pending change from the same screen.

After you verify the link, sign in with the new address. Limbo ends the old session as a security precaution; the old address can no longer sign in to that account.

Password

The Password row works two ways:

• Update your password: if you already have one, enter a new password, confirm it, and enter your current password.
• Add a new password: if you signed up with Apple or Google, you can add a Limbo password here so you can also sign in with email and password.

Your new password must be at least 8 characters and no more than 72 UTF-8 bytes. It does not need a particular mix of letters, numbers, or symbols. Emoji and some accented or non-Latin characters use more than one byte.

Forgot your current password? Sign out and use Forgot Password. Limbo emails a short-lived, one-time sign-in code without changing your existing password and opens the recovery-code screen automatically. After you verify the code, return to Account → Password and choose a new password within 10 minutes. If that recovery window expires, repeat the recovery steps.

The rest of Account

Scroll below your identity details for these personal tools:

• Travel recap, Travel map, and travel friends: review and share your travel history; see Your Travel recap, map, and travel friends.
• Trips & Crew: open Crew, the Automatic Gmail booking inbox card, Offline travel packs when its server-controlled capability is enabled, Notification Settings, Help & Feedback, and Archived Trips.
• App Preferences: control Calendar sync, Date Format, Theme, and the Push notifications master switch. Detailed notification channels live under Notification Settings.
• Privacy & Support: review privacy choices and support information.
• Account: log out or permanently delete your Limbo account.

Inside Trips & Crew, the Automatic Gmail booking inbox card sits near Offline travel packs. It is free for everyone. Tap Connect Gmail and Limbo looks for booking confirmations using Google's read-only Gmail permission; the account you connect does not have to match your Limbo sign-in address. Matches wait in Incoming Plans until you review them, and nothing is added to a trip automatically. Once connected, the card shows the address masked, a Last scan time, Scan now, and Disconnect. See Automatic Gmail booking inbox.

Feature rows appear when the service is available for your build. There are no subscription locks.

Date format

The date format setting sits under App Preferences on Account. Tap the Date Format dropdown and pick one of seven styles: MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, MM-DD-YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, DD.MM.YYYY, or MM.DD.YYYY. Your choice saves automatically. Date Format and the Push notifications switch pause briefly while the save finishes. If it fails, Limbo restores your previous choice and shows an error so you can try again.

Privacy settings

On your phone, Privacy Settings opens Limbo's permissions in your device's Settings app.

When using Limbo in a browser, Privacy Settings shows that browser's notification permission and links to Notification Settings. Browser permission and your Limbo notification preferences are separate: allowing notifications in the browser does not by itself turn on delivery for your account.

To change a blocked browser permission, open the site controls beside the web address, or find Limbo under Websites or Site settings in your browser's settings. Return to Limbo afterward; you can also select Refresh permission status. Opening this screen does not request or change a permission.

For browser uploads, choose the photos or files you want to share in the file chooser. Limbo does not need access to your entire photo library. Cancelling the chooser does not share a file.
