The Security tab in preferences brings together what you need to keep your account safe: change your password, see which devices have an open session and end them, and confirm your identity before sensitive actions. Find it from the user menu, under Preferences (/overview#preferences:security), in the Security tab.

​
Change your password

1

Open Preferences -> Security

Click your avatar in the sidebar, go to Preferences and open the Security tab.
2

Choose a new password

Enter the new password. It must be at least 8 characters; guito rejects passwords that have appeared in known data breaches.
3

Confirm your identity

For security, you’re asked to confirm who you are before saving. If you sign in with a password, enter your current password. If you sign in with Google, guito emails you a code to enter here.
If you created your account with Google and never set a password, you can set one here for the first time by confirming your identity with the emailed code. You’ll then be able to sign in with either a password or Google.

​
See and end active sessions

On the same page, the Active sessions list shows the devices where your account has an open session. Each row shows the device type, when it was last seen, and the approximate location the session was started from. The device you’re using right now is marked as This device.
1

Sign out a device

Click Sign out on the row for the device you want to disconnect and confirm.
2

Sign out other devices

To disconnect all the others at once without affecting your current device, use Sign out other devices.
Ending a session can take up to about 30 minutes to take effect on the affected device. If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password as well.

​
New-device access alert

When your account is accessed from a device guito doesn’t yet recognize, you get an email letting you know, with the device type, the approximate location, the date, and the network area the access came from. If it was you, there’s nothing to do. If you don’t recognize the access, the email tells you how to react: open Preferences -> Security, sign out other devices, and change your password.
The alert is only sent for new devices, not on every sign-in. The first device you use after creating your account doesn’t trigger an alert.

​
Confirm your identity for sensitive actions

Some actions ask you to confirm who you are before continuing, even with a session already open. This applies to changing your password and deleting your account. The confirmation uses your current password or, for Google sign-in, a code emailed to you. It’s a safeguard against someone acting on your account if you leave a session open.

FAQ

On the sign-in page, use the password-recovery option to get a link by email. The Security tab is for changing your password when you’re already signed in.

Revocation can take up to about 30 minutes to take effect. After that, the device is forced to sign in again.
Open Preferences -> Security, use Sign out other devices, and change your password. Once the password changes, any unauthorized access can no longer get in.
