Account and security

This guide covers managing your Budgeto account and how your data's kept safe.

 

Managing your login

 

Your account uses your email address and password to sign in. In Settings →
Account & security, you can update your preferred name, manage two-factor
authentication, request a password reset, and review email preferences. The
account screen does not offer an email-address change.

 

If you ever forget your password, use the forgot password flow to get a
reset link and set a new one.

 

Keeping your account secure

 

A few simple habits go a long way:

 

• Use a strong, unique password that you don't reuse on other sites.
• Keep the email address on your account up to date so you can always recover
  access.
• Sign out on shared or public devices.

 

How your data is handled

 

Budgeto's privacy policy explains how account and budget information is used,
stored, and shared, including when you choose optional features. Read the
privacy policy for the current details. Budgeto does not ask for a
phone number or government ID as an account recovery method. Keep access to
your email and any two-factor recovery codes; support cannot bypass the
account's authentication checks.

 

If you've got specific questions about data handling or privacy, reach out and
we're happy to explain how things work.

 

Updating your details

 

Use Settings → Account & security to change your preferred name. Currency,
number format, theme, and dashboard options are in the other Settings sections.

 

Need to recover access?

 

If you're locked out:

 

1. Use the forgot password option to trigger a reset email.
2. Follow the link to set a new password.
3. If 2FA is on, sign in with a recovery code, then turn 2FA off from Settings.

 

If you've lost both access to your account email and your recovery codes,
support cannot bypass the authentication checks or transfer the account. Ask
support about the account-deletion process if you cannot regain access.

 

Delete your account

 

In Settings → Account & security, choose Review account deletion. You
can download a JSON backup first. To confirm deletion, enter the account email
and current password; if two-factor authentication is enabled, also enter an
authenticator or recovery code. The API attempts to cancel a Stripe
subscription before deleting the account. If that cancellation fails, deletion
does not proceed and the screen reports an error.

 

If you purchased a subscription through Apple or Google, cancel it in that
store's subscription settings as well; deleting a Budgeto account is not a
store-subscription cancellation. Account deletion cannot be undone. Service
providers and legally required records may follow their own retention terms;
see the privacy policy.

 

Still stuck?
