Account settings
Open the account menu beside your Player Name and choose Account settings,
or go to /account. Account details shows your Player Name, sign-in method,
and role. Profile pictures, status, favourites, and sharing are managed separately
through Player profile.
Recover your password
For an email/password account, choose Reset password under Security. On the Auth0 sign-in page, choose Forgot password? and follow the recovery email. Use the latest email link. Returning to Wits World does not confirm that your password changed.
For Google sign-in, choose Open Google recovery. Google manages that password; the Wits World account page cannot reset it.
If recovery cannot open, check your connection and try again. The app's sign-in control also offers Switch account when a previous account binding remains.
Preferences and API access
Accessibility includes read aloud, motion, contrast, interface size, reading layout, and font choices. Changes apply immediately and are saved in the current browser on this device. See Accessibility for the controls, keyboard interaction, and reset behaviour.
Developer API access is optional. If you need to connect another application, follow the Developer API guide for creating, storing, and revoking keys.
Delete your account
Account deletion is permanent. If you have offline attempts pending, cancel deletion to sync and review them first.
- Under Account deletion, choose Delete account.
- Choose Sign in again and authenticate with the same account.
- Read the final confirmation, acknowledge that your account and progress will be lost, and choose Permanently delete account.
- Read the returned status and keep the deletion reference if cleanup is pending.
Cancel deletion closes a confirmation before submission. Once the server saves the request, signing out or closing the browser does not cancel it.
Deletion removes your account, sign-in identity for this app, cards, decks, points, achievements, profile, and personal progress. Required shared battle, trade, moderation, and Author history can remain without your account or profile. Signing up again creates a new player with no restored progress. See Deletion and retained data for details.
Account locked. Deletion pending. means the request is saved and cleanup will retry automatically; game access remains blocked. If the page cannot confirm deletion, use its offered recovery action to check and finish the same request. If it asks you to sign in again, authenticate before confirming again.
Sign out safely
The account menu provides Sign out. Signing out, switching accounts, or deleting an account clears local offline data when cleanup succeeds. A warning lets you cancel before discarding unsynced attempts. If cleanup fails, follow the warning and clear the site's browser data before leaving a shared device.
