Account menu & sign out

Every authenticated page in Beacon has a user menu in the top-right corner. It’s how you reach your profile and sign out. (Password changes happen through the password-reset flow on the login page — see Where do I change my password? below.)

Opening the menu

Look for your avatar (a small circle with your initials), your display name, and a small chevron in the top-right of the header. Click anywhere on that group to open the menu.

The menu has two items:

  • Account — opens your profile page.
  • Sign out — logs you out of Beacon and returns you to the login page.

Account page

Selecting Account takes you to a page divided into sections:

  • User Profile — your email address (read-only), and your display name (editable, up to 256 characters). The display name is a single field; if you signed up with separate first and last names, the two were joined into the display name on creation. The display name appears in the header avatar and on team rosters.
  • Organization — the name of the organization you belong to. Editable if you have permission; appears on invoices and dashboards.
  • Plan & Billing — your current plan and a link to billing.

Changes save when you click the section’s save button; a toast notification confirms the change.

Where do I change my password?

Password changes don’t happen from the Account page. Use the password-reset flow on the login page:

  1. Sign out (or open the login page in a private window).
  2. Click Forgot password?
  3. Enter your email — you’ll receive a reset link.
  4. Set a new password (minimum 12 characters, same as during sign-up).

This is a deliberate design — passwords change through the same email-confirmation path that prevents an attacker who briefly has session access from locking you out.

Sign out

Selecting Sign out ends your session and returns you to the beacon.softagility.com login page.

Behind the scenes, signing out clears the secure HTTP-only cookie that keeps you logged in, plus your in-memory session state. The next time you visit any Beacon page, you’ll be redirected to the login form.

If you’re signed in on multiple devices or browsers, signing out only ends the session on the device you click from. To end all sessions everywhere — for example, after losing a laptop — use the password-reset flow from the login page; setting a new password invalidates every other active session.

What’s NOT in the menu

A few things you might expect aren’t here:

  • No organization switcher. Each Beacon user belongs to exactly one organization. There’s no concept of switching between organizations from a single account. If you need access to multiple organizations, ask a team member at the other organization to invite you with a separate email address — Beacon treats every email as a distinct user identity.
  • No theme toggle. The Light / Dark / Auto theme switcher lives on the left side of the header, not in the user menu.
  • No language selector. Beacon’s UI is currently English-only.

Common questions

I’m signed in on a public computer and walked away — am I still logged in? Probably yes, until your session expires or you sign out. Always Sign out before leaving a shared computer. Sessions stay active for several hours by default.

Can I have two different Beacon accounts? Yes — Beacon identifies you by email. Two different email addresses give you two separate accounts. Each has its own organization and its own data. Most users only need one.

I forgot my password. On the login page, click Forgot password?. You’ll receive a reset link by email. Request a new one if the link is too old.
