Your account screen — Diffreel handbook

Six sections

/account is one page with a rail down the side. Each section holds one fact or one action.

The Your reels page: a grid of the reels this account has drawn, with the month's count underneath. — Your reels — every reel you have drawn, and where the month stands. Each tile opens it in the playground.

Section	What is there
Your reels	The most recent, and the way into the rest of them.
Plan	Which plan, what it costs, checkout, auto-renew, invoices.
Profile	Your name, your address, and Delete this account.
Password	Change it.
Sessions	Every browser currently signed in as you.
Activity	Recent sign-ins, successful and failed.

Name and address

Changing your name

What changes: The name shown on anything you publish. It does not change how you sign in.
Who sees it: You, and anyone reading something published under your name.
When to do it: Whenever.
How to undo it: Change it back. Nothing is kept from the old one.

The address is what you sign in with and is not shown publicly. It cannot be changed from this screen.

Changing your password

What changes: The password, and every other session is signed out — the browser you are on stays in.
Who sees it: Only you. It appears in your own Activity list.
When to do it: Routinely, or the moment Sessions or Activity shows something you do not recognise.
How to undo it: You cannot restore the old one; set a new one again. Signed-out devices simply sign in again.

Sessions and activity

Sessions lists the browsers currently signed in as you, with the device and when each was last used. You can end one, or end all the others at once.

Signing out other sessions

What changes: Those browsers are signed out immediately and have to sign in again. The one you are using is not affected.
Who sees it: Whoever was using them.
When to do it: A shared or public machine you did not sign out of, or a session you do not recognise.
How to undo it: Nothing to undo — sign in again on that device. If you did not recognise the session, change your password too, or it can simply come back.

Activity is the record: recent sign-ins with device, rough location and whether they succeeded. Failed attempts appear here too, which is the point — a run of failures from somewhere unfamiliar is the thing you want to see.

Deleting your account

At the bottom of Profile. It asks for your password — a session proves you were let in once, not that you still own the address.

Deleting your account

What changes: The account, its sessions and every reel drawn under it are removed.
Who sees it: Nobody else — but anything already published under your name stays published.
When to do it: You are done, and you have downloaded anything you want to keep.
Cannot be undone: Nothing. This one is final: download your reels first.
