## Account Information [#account-information]

You can update:

* your display name
* your timezone

Your timezone matters because GeoQR uses it for date-based Analytics views.

If Analytics dates look wrong, checking your timezone should be your first step.

## Recommended Security Setup [#recommended-security-setup]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Keep your password updated if you use password-based sign-in.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enable two-factor authentication with an authenticator app.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Save backup codes outside your main device when GeoQR shows them.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Delete Your Account [#delete-your-account]

You can delete your account from the Danger Zone in Account settings.

Important behavior:

* account deletion is permanent
* password-based accounts must confirm with the current password
* if your session is too old, GeoQR may ask you to sign in again before deletion succeeds
* you cannot delete your account while you are still an owner of any organization

When account deletion succeeds, GeoQR removes your sign-in access, memberships, invitations you sent, and your personal notification state.

GeoQR does not delete shared organization resources just because you created or last edited them. If you still own an organization, delete it or transfer ownership first.

## Common Security Questions [#common-security-questions]

<Accordions type="single">
  <Accordion title="How do password updates work?">
    If you use password-based sign-in, you can update your password from Settings. If you do not yet have a password set, use the password setup or reset flow first.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is account deletion blocked?">
    GeoQR blocks account deletion while you still own one or more organizations. Delete those organizations or transfer ownership first, then retry account deletion.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I enable two-factor authentication?">
    Enter your current password, scan the setup code with your authenticator app, enter the latest 6-digit code, and save the backup codes GeoQR shows you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What should I know about backup codes?">
    Each backup code can be used once, the codes are not shown continuously in settings, and regenerating them replaces the old set.
  </Accordion>
</Accordions>
