### What You'll See

| Item             | What It Means                                                        |

### The Usage Bar

The progress bar shows your credit consumption:

## What Are Credits?

Credits are the currency that powers AI features in the platform. Different actions use different amounts of credits:

| Action              | Credit Cost |
| ------------------- | ----------- |
| Chat messages       | Low         |
| Document processing | Medium      |
| Image generation    | Medium-High |
| Video generation    | High        |
| Audio generation    | Medium      |

Your plan includes a monthly credit allowance. If you run out, you can:

* Wait for credits to reset next month
* Upgrade to a higher plan
* Purchase additional credits (if available on your plan)

***

## Account Settings

### Email Notifications

Control what emails you receive:

1. Go to **Profile**
2. Scroll to **Notifications** or **Settings**
3. Toggle notifications on/off for different types

### Dark Mode

Prefer a darker interface? The light/dark toggle lives in the sidebar (look for the moon/sun icon), not on the Profile page. Click it to switch between light and dark modes at any time.

***

## Security

### Your Password

You sign in with a magic link, a verification code, or Google — so there's no password to manage day to day. If you use an email-and-password login and need to reset it, use the **Forgot password?** link on the sign-in screen; a reset link will be emailed to you.

### Two-Factor Authentication

For extra security, enable two-factor authentication (2FA):

1. Go to **Profile**
2. Find the **Security** or **Two-Factor Authentication** section
3. Follow the setup steps to link your authenticator app
4. Enter the 6-digit code from your app to confirm

Once enabled, you'll enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app each time you sign in. You can disable 2FA from the same section (you'll be asked to confirm with a code).
