To set up a new password you will need to use your original password (or a temporary one sent by Nozbe in case you lost your password).

Type your old password in the 1st field and then write the new one twice in the following two fields. Tap on “Save" to confirm.

Two-factor authentication

To guarantee the extra safety of your data, you can set up two-factor authentication. Thanks to this, you will add one more step, which will be necessary to log in to your account.

In settings, tap on Two-factor authentication. In the following steps, you will get more information about this function, and you will be able to choose between two available methods - authentication via app or SMS.

Two-factor authentication via SMS is available to Premium and Business users only.

Language

When you go to the “Language” section of your settings, you can change Nozbe’s language to one currently available. You can also choose the “System Language” option. It will set the app’s language to match the device’s system (if it’s available). If it’s not, the language will be set to English.

The date format in Nozbe depends on your device language. If you are using English and wish to have 24h format, switch your language to EN-UK (British English).

Every change in your device language will also influence the date format in Nozbe.

Also, when using EN-US (American English) on your device, the first day in the app will be Sunday. To set it on Monday, change the language in your device settings to EN-UK.

Diagnostics

If you have any technical issues with Nozbe, we might ask you to run the diagnostics, which can help us resolve them. You will find them under Settings → Advanced.

You can run either basic diagnostics or full diagnostics.

Send us the diagnostics result along with a short description of the issue you experienced.

Space data backup

If you are a space owner, here you can back up the space’s data.

When you use that option, Nozbe will email you a single-use link to download the archive. If you’d like to download the archive again, you will need to request a new data backup in your Nozbe’s settings.

The archive will contain the information about the space’s active and closed projects and tasks (as well as comments within them). In a separate folder of the archive you will find all attachments added to tasks by your space.

The archive won’t contain data from projects you don’t have access to as a space owner, e.g. private or limited access projects of your space members.

You can close your account in Settings. To do so, open Settings → Advanced and tap on the “Cancel Account” button.

The third option allows you to leave current space. This cannot be undone.

The fourth option removes your account from our database.
