Timezone Used for displaying dates and times

Email Settings

Manage your email address and notification preferences:

Changing Your Email

  1. Go to SettingsEmail
  2. Enter your new email address
  3. Confirm with your password
  4. Verify the new email via the confirmation link

Note

Your old email remains active until you verify the new one. This prevents accidental lockouts.

Email Notifications

Application status updates (as applicant) On
Team member changes On
Weekly digest Off
Product updates and announcements Off

Password & Security

Changing Your Password

  1. Go to SettingsSecurity
  2. Enter your current password
  3. Enter your new password twice
  4. Click Update Password

Strong Password Tips

Use at least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Consider using a password manager to generate and store secure passwords.

Active Sessions

View and manage devices logged into your account:

  1. Go to SettingsSecurity
  2. Scroll to Active Sessions
  3. Review the list of logged-in devices
  4. Click Sign Out on any you don't recognise

Each session shows:

  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Browser and operating system
  • Location (approximate)
  • Last active time

Security Alert

If you see sessions from locations you don't recognise, sign them out immediately and change your password. Someone may have access to your account.

Connected Accounts

View services connected to your Guildbase account:

  • Discord: Used for identity verification and notifications

You can disconnect these at any time, but some features may stop working.

Deleting Your Account

To permanently delete your account:

  1. Go to SettingsAccount
  2. Scroll to Danger Zone
  3. Click Delete Account
  4. Enter your password to confirm

This Cannot Be Undone

Account deletion is permanent. All your data, including guilds you own, will be deleted. Transfer guild ownership first if you want to preserve them.

What Gets Deleted

When you delete your account:

  • Your profile and personal data
  • Guilds you own (and all their applications)
  • Your submitted applications (anonymised)
  • Email and notification preferences

You'll be removed from any guilds where you're a team member, but those guilds will remain for other members.
