# Login & Account

## Logging in

Click **Login** at the bottom left of the sidebar. Depending on the
configuration of the instance:

- **Local accounts:** enter username and password. The accounts are created
  by an admin (see [Administration](/docs/handbook/administration)).
- **OIDC (SSO):** you are redirected to the configured identity provider and
  log in there.

The active mode is available at the endpoint
[`GET /auth/mode`](/docs/reference/endpoints/auth#getAuthMode).

> You can reach the login page directly at `/login`. After a successful
> login you are redirected back to the page you originally requested.

## User profile

You can see your profile (avatar, name, email, plan) at the bottom left in
the user menu. There you have the following actions available:

- **Watchlist** — your saved tools (only with the corresponding plan).
- **Trash** — restorable, deleted tools (Premium/Enterprise).
- **Change password** — directly in toolr for local accounts; for OIDC
  accounts, password management is offered in the identity provider.
- **Logout** — ends your session.

## Changing your password (local account)

1. Open the user menu at the bottom left.
2. Select **Change password**.
3. Enter the **current** and a **new** password (min. 6 characters) and
   confirm it.
4. Save — the password takes effect immediately.

API reference: [`POST /auth/me/password`](/docs/reference/endpoints/auth#changeMyPassword).

## Display settings

Using the buttons at the top right you can:

- switch the **language** (German / English),
- toggle the **theme** (Light / Dark / System),
- adjust the **list view** and **density** in the Browse tools section
  (see [Finding & browsing tools](/docs/handbook/tools-finden)).

Your preferences (incl. watchlist) are saved at the endpoint
[`GET /auth/me/preferences`](/docs/reference/endpoints/auth#getMePreferences)
and updated via [`PUT /auth/me/preferences`](/docs/reference/endpoints/auth#updateMePreferences).
