Sign-in methods

FocusPilot supports email and password plus Google sign-in. If an OAuth attempt cannot be linked safely, the login page shows the reason instead of silently returning to the form.

A user who originally joined with Google can use the password-reset email to add a password to the same FocusPilot account. Google remains available, so either method can be used afterward.

Recover or change a password

  1. 1Select Forgot password on the login page.
  2. 2Enter the account email. FocusPilot always shows the same confirmation so it does not reveal whether an account exists.
  3. 3Open the link sent to that inbox within one hour and choose a new password.
  4. 4Existing sessions are signed out and a security alert is sent. Return to login and use the new password.

Important preferences

  • Timezone and 12/24-hour display control dates throughout the app.
  • Schedule settings define the visible planning workday.
  • Pomodoro settings control focus, short-break, long-break, and cycle lengths.
  • Notification preferences control supported in-app and email alerts.
  • Modules determine which optional sections appear in navigation.

Protect your account

  • Use a unique password and protect your email or Google account with multifactor authentication.
  • Do not share password-reset links, API keys, MCP tokens, private ICS URLs, or booking-management links.
  • Disconnect Google Calendar when you no longer want FocusPilot to create booking events.
  • Give developer tokens only the scopes they need and revoke unused credentials.
