Set up your account: mails, language, two-factor

In your Account settings you decide which mails you get, how chiro.events looks for you and how well your account is protected. Whatever you change there applies right away. There is no save button.

On a computer, click your name at the bottom left and then Account settings. On a phone, tap Profile at the bottom, then the gear icon and then Account. On a computer the sections are in a second bar, on a phone they are in a row you can swipe.

1Which mails you get

Under Notifications the mails are in three groups: About your account, When someone wants something from you and What happens on the platform. Most types have their own switch. You only see the types that can reach you at all.

Some mails about your account always arrive, for example the result of your ID check. There you see a lock instead of a switch. In your Activity you still see everything, even what you turn off here.

For the Newsletter, choose under How often whether it comes Weekly, Every 2 weeks or Monthly. You set which events appear in it under My interests.

2Language and appearance

Under General, choose the Language at the top: Deutsch, English or Español. Below it, under Appearance, you decide whether chiro.events looks Light, Dark or Auto. Your account area always stays light.

4Change your email address
