Security and authentication

Manage sign-in and password

Understand how sign-in and password management works in Interlinked AI — learn the differences between email/password and Google sign-in accounts, where to change your password, and what account metadata is available.

What is the Account settings tab

The Account settings tab in Settings contains account-level metadata and manages sensitive actions related to your login credentials and account lifecycle. This is the tab you visit to understand how your account was created, manage your password (if applicable), and perform account-level actions such as deletion.

To access the Account settings tab, navigate to SettingsAccount settings, or go directly to:

https://panel.interlinked-ai.com/en/settings?tab=account

Note

Despite the similar name, the Account settings tab is different from the Account information tab. Account information shows your identity details (name, phone, business, email), while Account settings deals with authentication, password management, and destructive actions.

Account metadata

The Account settings tab displays the following metadata about your account:

FieldDescription
Member sinceThe date you first created your Interlinked AI account
EmailThe email address associated with your account
Login methodHow you authenticate — either email/password or Google sign-in

This information gives you a quick overview of your account’s identity and authentication configuration.

Password management

One of the most important concepts in the Account settings tab is that password management depends on how you created your account. The rules are different for email/password accounts and Google sign-in accounts.

Accounts created with email and password

If you signed up for Interlinked AI using your email address and a password you chose:

  • You can change your password directly from within Interlinked AI
  • The password change is handled in the Account settings tab
  • You are prompted to enter your current password and then set a new one
  • This is the standard password management flow for traditional email-based accounts

How to change your password (email/password accounts)

  1. Navigate to SettingsAccount settings at https://panel.interlinked-ai.com/en/settings?tab=account
  2. Locate the password management section
  3. Click Change password (or the equivalent action)
  4. Enter your current password to verify your identity
  5. Enter your new password
  6. Confirm the new password
  7. Save the change

Tip

Choose a strong, unique password that you do not use for other services. Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. For maximum security, pair your password with two-factor authentication.

  • Use a password that is at least 12 characters long
  • Avoid reusing passwords from other accounts
  • Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords
  • Enable two-factor authentication for an additional security layer
  • Change your password immediately if you suspect it may have been compromised

Accounts created with Google sign-in

If you signed in to Interlinked AI through Google sign-in (OAuth):

  • Password management is handled through Google, not within Interlinked AI
  • You do not manage a separate Interlinked AI password in the same way
  • Your authentication is tied to your Google account credentials
  • To change the password used to access Interlinked AI, you would change your Google account password at https://myaccount.google.com

Why Google accounts handle passwords differently

When you sign in with Google, Interlinked AI uses Google’s OAuth protocol to authenticate you. This means:

  • Interlinked AI never sees or stores your Google password
  • Your login security is managed by Google’s authentication infrastructure
  • Any changes to your sign-in credentials (password, recovery options, 2FA) are made through Google, not Interlinked AI
  • You benefit from Google’s security features, including their own 2FA, suspicious activity detection, and account recovery

Note

Even if you sign in with Google, you can still enable two-factor authentication in Interlinked AI. This adds a second verification step specific to Interlinked AI, providing an additional layer beyond Google's authentication.

How to identify your login method

If you are unsure how your account was created, check the Login method field in the Account settings tab. It clearly indicates whether your account uses:

  • Email and password — You created the account using the standard email registration flow
  • Google — You signed in using your Google account

This distinction affects not only password management but also related account actions — see Delete or disconnect your account for how account deletion and Google disconnection work.

Account creation date

The Member since date shows when you first created your Interlinked AI account. This is useful for:

  • Tracking your relationship with the platform — Understanding how long you have been using Interlinked AI
  • Support interactions — The team may reference your account creation date when assisting with billing or account issues
  • Trial eligibility — If you are wondering whether you are eligible for the Pro free trial, your account age and history are factors

Relationship with other settings tabs

The Account settings tab is closely connected to several other areas:
