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
- 1Select Forgot password on the login page.
- 2Enter the account email. FocusPilot always shows the same confirmation so it does not reveal whether an account exists.
- 3Open the link sent to that inbox within one hour and choose a new password.
- 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.
