Account and security
Your profile and email preferences, signing in, password and devices, the theme, exporting your articles, and deleting your account.
Everything here is in Settings, at the bottom of the sidebar.
Profile
- Profile picture and First name and Last name: they show in Writing Studio only. Posts are published under your site's name. Names save as you leave the box.
- Email addresses: add another address, make it your main one, or remove one.
- Connected accounts: connect Google to sign in with it, or disconnect it.
Email preferences
Also on Profile. Sign-in codes, receipts and emails about your account always come; the rest you choose:
- Your articles: when drafts are ready for your review, and when you're close to the month's articles
- Weekly summary: on Mondays, what went out, what your articles did and what's coming
- Getting-started tips: a few short emails in your first days
- Product updates: new features, now and then
- News and offers: off unless you turn it on
Every email has an unsubscribe link too. If emails stop arriving, see Troubleshooting.
Security
Settings › Security has how you sign in and where you're signed in:
- Password: set or change it.
- Passkeys and two-step verification, where your account offers them: sign in with your fingerprint, face or device, or add a code from an authenticator app.
- Active devices: every browser you're signed in on, with where and when. Sign any of them out, like a computer you no longer use.
To sign out of this browser, choose your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then Sign out.
Appearance
Settings › Appearance: Light, Dark, or System to follow your device. It's saved for this browser, so each device can have its own.
Export your articles
- One article: open it, and from the … menu choose Copy HTML, Download Markdown, Download for Word or Open in Google Docs.
- Your list: Articles › Export CSV, with each article's title, keyword, status, date, words, site, why it was planned and its live address. Select rows first to export only those.
Delete your account
Settings › Security › Delete account. Type DELETE to confirm.
It can't be undone, and it happens straight away:
- Your sites, plans, drafts, images, Search Console and CMS connections and access tokens are deleted.
- Your plan is cancelled at once (not at the end of the period).
- Posts already on your website stay there, with their images.
- If you own a team, its members lose access. If you're a team member, only your own sign-in is deleted; the team carries on.
Writing Studio keeps a scrambled copy of your email address so the free article can't be used twice; it can't be turned back into your address.
Just want to stop paying? Cancel instead (Settings › Billing): your plan keeps working to the end of the period, then you're on Free and nothing is deleted. See Plans and billing.
