Managing Your Account

Your IdeaBadger Account

Manage your account settings, privacy, and data from the account page. Click the settings icon in the navigation bar to access it.

Profile settings

Update your name and profile preferences on the main account page. Your email address is shown but can only be changed through the email change process (see below).

Changing your email address

To change your email address:

1. Go to your account page and click Change email
2. Enter your new email address
3. Click Send confirmation
4. Check your inbox at the new address for a confirmation link
5. Click the link to complete the change

The confirmation link expires after 24 hours. A notice is also sent to your old email address for security.

Password and authentication

IdeaBadger supports both magic links (passwordless) and traditional password authentication. You can:

• Sign in with a magic link sent to your email
• Sign in with Google
• Set or change your password in account settings

Managing sessions

View all devices where you're currently signed in on the Sessions page. You can:

• See when and where each session was last active
• Revoke individual sessions (sign out that device)
• Sign out of all other devices at once

If you see an unfamiliar session, revoke it and change your password immediately.

Agent access

Create an agent token from Account → Agent Access when you want Claude, Codex, Pi, or another local agent to read and shape ideas through the IdeaBadger CLI. Tokens are shown once, stored as digests, and can be revoked at any time.

curl -fsSL https://ideabadger.com/install-cli | bash
ideabadger login
ideabadger doctor

The installer adds the CLI, a safe ib shortcut when available, and the generic agent skill locally. Codex and Pi use the generic skill location. For Claude, run ideabadger skills install claude. Do not paste configured tokens into agent chats. Let the local CLI read its private config instead.

Exporting your data

Download all your IdeaBadger data in JSON format. The export includes:

• Your profile information
• All your ideas with descriptions and scores
• Your activity history and events

Go to your account page and click Export data to download.

Theme preferences

Choose between light mode, dark mode, or auto (follows your system preference). Click the theme buttons on your account page to switch.

Deleting your account

If you decide to leave IdeaBadger, you can request account deletion from the account page. There's a 7-day grace period during which you can cancel the request. After that, all your data is permanently deleted.

We'll email you when the request is submitted and again when it's processed.
