Security

Password, two-factor authentication, and how Google sign-in changes both.

Settings → Security covers exactly two things — your password and two-factor authentication — plus a shortcut to your cookie preferences. What you actually see on this page depends entirely on how you signed up.

Your account type changes this page

Signed up with email + password

Full controls, no extra steps: change your password with your current one, and toggle 2FA on or off directly.

Signed up with Google (has a password too)

The same controls appear, but touching either one first asks you to re-verify your password (and your 2FA code, if it's already on) before it lets you proceed.

Google-only, no password set

Password and two-factor authentication aren't shown at all — both are managed entirely through your Google account instead.

Password

Five rules, checked live

At least 8 characters, one uppercase, one lowercase, one number, one special character — each rule ticks green the moment your new password satisfies it.

Must differ from your current one

A new password identical to your current password is rejected before it's submitted.

Re-verifying is a one-time hurdle per session

If you signed up with Google and also have a password, changing your password or toggling 2FA prompts a quick password re-check first (with an email verification code too, if 2FA is already on). Once verified, you can make further security changes in that same session without repeating it.

Two-factor authentication

Stynar's 2FA is email-based one-time codes, not an authenticator app — when it's on, logging in asks for a code sent to your inbox as a second step, right after your password.

FieldWhat it means
Turning it onOne click. No QR code or authenticator app to set up — it's active immediately.
Turning it offA confirmation dialog warns that your account becomes less secure before it disables.
Where the code goesStraight to your account email — there's no separate app to install.

Cookie preferences live here too

Scroll to the bottom of the Security tab and you'll find a shortcut to your Cookie Preferences — the same panel that controls whether functional cookies (like remembering your light/dark theme choice) are allowed.
