Account & Security

This page covers your personal account (not the restaurant profile). Here you manage your login, notifications, and security settings.

The Settings Section

The sidebar has 3 sub-pages:

View	URL	What it shows
Account	/dashboard/settings/account	Your personal info
Notifications	/dashboard/settings/notifications	Email + push preferences
Security	/dashboard/settings/security	Password, 2FA, sessions

Account Settings

Your personal info — separate from your restaurant profile.

Field	Editable	Notes
First name	Yes
Last name	Yes
Phone	Yes
Avatar	Yes	Image upload
Email	No	Contact support to change
Date of birth	Yes

Why Email is Locked

Your email is your unique identifier on MyCityDeal. Changing it could:

• Break your booking history
• Cause issues with customer notifications
• Require re-verification

If you really need to (e.g., company email change), contact support.

Notification Settings

Choose which notifications you receive:

Notification	Email	Push	Can disable?
New booking	✓	✓	No (critical)
Booking cancelled	✓	✓	No (critical)
Customer review	✓	-	Yes
Weekly summary	✓	-	Yes
Marketing tips	✓	-	Yes
New features	✓	-	Yes

We don't allow disabling critical notifications (bookings, cancellations, security alerts) because missing them could cost you money or leave customers waiting.

Security Settings

Change Password

1. Enter your current password
2. Enter your new password (min 8 characters)
3. Confirm the new password
4. Click "Change password"

You'll get a confirmation email.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Active Sessions

See where you're logged in:

Session	Device	Location	Last active	Action
Chrome on Mac	MacBook	Mumbai	Now	Current
Safari on iPhone	iPhone	Mumbai	2 hours ago	Sign out
Firefox on Windows	Windows	Delhi	Yesterday	Sign out

If you see an unknown session, sign it out and change your password.

Sign Out Everywhere

If you suspect your account is compromised:

1. Go to Security settings
2. Click "Sign out everywhere"
3. All sessions end except your current one
4. Change your password immediately

Password Best Practices

• ✅ Use at least 12 characters (longer is stronger)
• ✅ Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols
• ✅ Use a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass)
• ✅ Don't reuse passwords across sites
• ❌ Don't share your password with anyone — not even support staff
• ❌ Don't write your password on paper

What If I Lose Access?

1. Forgot password: Use the "Forgot password" link on the login page
2. Lost email access: Contact support with ID verification
3. Account locked: After 5 failed login attempts, wait 15 minutes and try again
