Account settings

Almost everything about your account lives in one dialog. Open it from your avatar in the top-right corner → Account Settings.

The dialog has six tabs down the left: Account, Account Limits, Storage, SSH Keys, Security and Appearance.

The Account Settings dialog open on the Account tab, with the six tabs visible in the left rail.

Account

Your avatar, name, username and email, with a Pro or Free tier badge.

  • View my profile opens your public profile page.
  • Manage account in GitLab (or your provider's equivalent) opens the place where your name, avatar and email are actually managed. They are not edited here — see Sign in.
  • Shortcuts jump to Account Limits, Rank & Privileges, My Devices and My Files.

If you have switched to an organization or department account, this tab says so and shows that account instead of yours. Switch back to Personal from the avatar menu to manage your own.

Account Limits

Your plan's ceilings and how much of each you are using, as bars.

RowWhat it counts
DevicesDevices registered for the private tunnel
DomainsNames on the platform's own domains
Running labsLabs running at the same time
Lab copiesExtra copies of labs
Custom deploymentsLabs deployed from your own templates, when that feature is on
Home storageYour storage used against your quota
Services totalDatabase and service users across every engine

A Home storage row marked enforced is a hard limit: over it, your existing files stay readable but new writes are blocked. The refresh icon re-scans your usage, and Storage Lens shows what is using the space.

All service users share one total. A service shows its own used / cap only when a tighter per-service ceiling applies; otherwise it is marked shared.

For the default numbers on each plan, see Plans and limits.

Storage

Where your data lives breaks your usage into three parts:

MeterWhat it is
Home storageYour files inside labs — the part that counts against your quota
My Files (S3)Things you uploaded: theme images, avatars, attachments
Container layersChanges your running labs wrote outside your home directory

Storage Lens and Re-scan are here too. On some platforms a Storage pool migration card appears, offering to move your whole home to a different storage pool; all your labs must be stopped first. See Storage.

SSH Keys

Two lists:

  • Platform keys (stored in Labs) — keys you add here with Add key. Give it a title and paste the public key. Ed25519, RSA, ECDSA and hardware security-key types are accepted.
  • GitLab keys (mirror — read-only) — keys on your GitLab account, copied in. Use Refresh to pull changes, or Manage in GitLab to edit them there.

Each key has a switch. Off leaves the key out of every future deploy. You can also copy a key's fingerprint, and delete platform keys.

Keys are installed when a lab deploys

A new or re-enabled key reaches a lab only on its next deploy. To choose keys for one lab rather than all of them, see Lab settings → SSH keys.

Security

Active sessions lists every browser signed in to your account, with This device on the one you are using. Log out ends another session; Log out everywhere else ends all of them except yours. Recent logins shows your sign-in history.

If AI clients are connected to your account, an MCP clients list shows each one as Live or Idle, with Disconnect to revoke it. See MCP.

For how sessions and sign-in work, see Sign in.

The avatar menu

The menu under your avatar holds the account-level shortcuts: Visual Blur, My Account, Rank & Privileges, Change Background, My Files, MCP (when available), Account Settings and Logout. The top shows your VPN Status and plan. The full tour is in Find your way around.

Your profile page

My Account opens your public profile. Tabs: Profile, Activity, Achievements and Badges.

It shows your league level, top skills, your Zeal (Your Mastery Score) and Jolt (Your Energy Points), and cards for global ranking, Zeal and Jolt acquired, quizzes, challenges and Code Arena problems completed, and achievements. Activity charts cover one month, three months or a year.

The profile is not edited in the app. Your name and picture come from your sign-in provider and update the next time you sign in.

My Files

My Files (avatar menu, or the shortcut on the Account tab) lists what you have uploaded — theme images, pictures added to discussions, roadmap evidence and so on. Switch between tiles and a list.

Each file is marked In use (linked) if something still refers to it, or Asset (unlinked) if nothing does. Delete files you no longer need; they count towards the My Files (S3) meter on the Storage tab.

Do it with an AI assistant

You can also do this by asking an AI assistant connected to your account — see Connect an AI assistant to set one up.

AskWhat the assistant does
“Add this SSH key to my account: ssh-ed25519 AAAA… me@laptop”add_ssh_key
“Which SSH keys are on my account?”list_ssh_keys
“Disable my old laptop key”set_ssh_key_enabled
“Delete it”delete_ssh_key
Share the public key only

Give the assistant the one line from your .pub file, never the private key. A new key reaches a lab only after it is redeployed. SSH key tools work on every plan, including free.
