Theme Preferences
Customize the app's appearance:
- Light Mode: Bright interface, best for well-lit environments
- Dark Mode: Darker colors, reduces eye strain in low light
- System: Automatically matches your device settings
Pro Tip
The 'System' option is great if your device automatically switches between light and dark mode based on time of day.
Security Settings

Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication:
1
Navigate to Security
Go to Settings → Security and find the Two-Factor Authentication section.

4
Save Recovery Codes
Download and securely store your recovery codes. You'll need these if you lose access to your 2FA method.
Important
Keep your recovery codes in a safe place! If you lose access to your 2FA device and don't have recovery codes, you may be locked out of your account.
