Account Settings
Account Settings covers your Abacaxi account, including your sign-in details, your license, and the devices attached to it. Account settings are accessible through the web and desktop app.
Your Account
- Email Address - Shows the email you signed in with and lets you change it. A confirmation code is sent to the new address before the change takes effect.
- Password - Sends a password reset link to your email address. Open the link in your browser to set the new password.
- Desktop App License - Your license status, the platform registered, and how many of your devices are in use. Also shows remaining days on free trial.
- Device Keys - Every computer registered to your account, with its name, the date it was registered, and its status. Revoke releases a device so a different one can take its place.
- Signing out - Your account menu in the top right corner links to Account settings and offers Sign out. Signing out does not delete anything on this computer. To use a different account, choose Sign In (Switch Account), which signs the current account out and returns you to the sign-in screen.
Trial and license Actions
- Start Free Trial - Shown on an account that has never had a trial. Starting one enables you to download the app and use it for 7 days.
- Unlock Full Application - Shown while a trial is running. It opens checkout in your browser and converts the account to a paid license covering up to three devices.
Deleting Your Account
Deleting your account closes the Abacaxi account itself. It does not touch the desktop app on your computer.
- Nothing local is deleted - Your profile, resumes, cover letters, applications, and backups stay on your computer exactly as they are. If you also want them gone, use Reset App in the desktop app's Settings.
- A licensed app keeps working - If you hold a paid license, the app on a device that is already activated continues to work without an account, offline, and with nothing gated.
- You cannot activate a new device without an account - Activating a device, starting a trial, and managing devices all need an account, so a deleted account means no new device can be activated until you sign up again.
- Sign up again with the same email - To activate a new device after deleting your account, create a new account with the same email address you originally used. That links your new account back to your license and devices.
- Your email is not kept on our servers - We do not retain your email address after deletion. The link back to your license is made with a one-way hash of the address, which is why reusing the same address is required to restore access.
- It cannot be undone - The confirmation dialog asks you to confirm explicitly, and the account cannot be restored afterwards. Read the bullets above before you confirm.
In short: deleting your account is not the same as deleting your data. Keep the app, keep your license on devices already activated, and reuse the same email address if you ever need to activate another device.
