# Set Up Your Flowtask Account, Profile, and Preferences

> Sign up for Flowtask, complete onboarding, upload a profile photo, change your password, and personalize your workspace display preferences.

Your Flowtask account is the foundation of your workspace. This guide walks you through signing up, completing the onboarding flow, and configuring your profile — including setting a password, uploading a photo, and choosing how your workspace looks and feels.

## Sign up

Flowtask offers two ways to create an account. Choose the method that works best for you.

**Email + OTP**

1. Go to the Flowtask sign-up page and enter your email address.
2. Click **Continue** — Flowtask sends a 6-digit one-time passcode to your inbox.
3. Enter the OTP on the verification screen to confirm your email and activate your account.

<Note>
  OTP codes expire after **5 minutes**. If yours expires, return to the sign-up page and request a fresh one. If you enter an incorrect code too many times, you will be temporarily locked out for security reasons.
</Note>

**Google OAuth**

Click **Sign in with Google** on the sign-up page. Flowtask uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate you through your Google account securely. No separate password is needed.

## Onboarding

After signing in for the first time, Flowtask guides you through a three-step welcome flow to get your workspace ready.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Welcome">
    A brief overview of what Flowtask can do for you. Click **Get Started** to proceed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="User Profile">
    Enter your **display name** — this is how you'll appear across your workspace. Optionally, upload a **profile photo** to personalize your account. Both can be updated later from your account menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Completed">
    Your workspace is ready. Click **Go to Dashboard** to open Flowtask and start working.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Change your password

For email-based accounts, you can set or update your password from your account settings.

1. Open your account menu from the bottom of the sidebar.
2. Navigate to the **Security** section.
3. Enter your current password (if one is already set), then enter and confirm your new password.
4. Click **Save Password** to apply the change.

<Note>
  If you signed up with Google, you may not have a password set yet. You can add one at any time from your account settings.
</Note>

## Upload a profile photo

A profile photo helps personalize your workspace and makes it easier for teammates to identify you.

1. Open your account menu from the bottom of the sidebar.
2. Click your current avatar or the **Upload Photo** button.
3. Select an image file from your device. Flowtask accepts JPG and PNG formats up to 5 MB.
4. Crop or adjust the image if prompted, then click **Save**.

Your photo can be removed or replaced at any time.

## Display preferences

Flowtask lets you choose between list and board layouts to suit your workflow.

1. Open any view that supports multiple display modes, such as **Today**.
2. Click the **Display** toggle in the page header.
3. Select **List** for a linear, scrollable task list, or **Board** for a column-based Kanban layout.
