You can manage your account details by clicking on your email address or name, which is displayed when you're signed in:
In the Manage account page, you can change your first and last name, change your password, change your registered email address, or delete your account.
If you change your registered email address, a couple of things to note:
- You will need to re-verify the new address - we'll send you a new verification link by email
- You won't be able to delete your account if you have an active subscription to the paid PRO plan (cancel the subscription first)

Sign out
You can optionally sign out of your account using the Sign out link at the top right (3). It's generally more convenient to stay signed in, however - you'll save on loading time, bandwidth and mouse clicks.
