Settings & Preferences

Manage your account, appearance, security, and more. Settings are organized into four sections: General, Security, Account, Advanced, and Legal.

The Settings page, open on the General tab.


General

The General tab is the default view when you open Settings.

Account info & sign out

Your currently logged-in email address is displayed here. To log out of your current session, click Sign Out.

Appearance

Switch between Light Mode and Dark Mode using the appearance selector. Your preference is saved to your account.

Primary currency

Your primary currency is shown here for reference. This is the currency used across the entire app — for budgeting, net worth, and all reports.

Primary currency cannot be changed

Once set during setup, your primary currency is locked to your account. If you need a different primary currency, you will need to use Start Over (in the Account tab) or create a new account. There is no way to change it in place.


Security

Change password

To update your password, enter your current password, then your new password, and click Change Password.

Social login users

If you signed up with Google or Apple, you may not have a password set. Use the Forgot Password flow from the login screen to create one before you can change it here.

Active sessions

Finzen tracks how many devices or browser sessions are currently logged in to your account. The session count is displayed here.

Session counter may be inaccurate

Closing a browser tab without logging out does not always end the session cleanly, which can cause the counter to drift over time. This is a known limitation. The counter is informational — do not rely on it as an exact figure.

Sign Out Everywhere

Click Sign Out Everywhere to immediately revoke all active sessions across all devices. After doing this, you will need to log in again. This is the reliable way to ensure no lingering sessions remain active.


Account

Account details

This tab shows your email address and the date your account was created.

Email preferences

Choose whether to receive marketing emails from Finzen. You can opt in or opt out at any time.

Danger Zone

These actions are permanent

The options below cannot be undone. Finzen does not keep backups of your data. Proceed only if you are certain.

Both actions require you to confirm by entering your password before they execute.

Social login users

If you signed up with Google or Apple, you may not have a password. Use the Forgot Password flow from the login screen to set one before using these options.

Start Over

Wipes all your data — transactions, accounts, budget history, and settings — and resets your account to a blank state. When you log back in, you will be taken through the setup wizard as if it were a new account. Your login credentials are preserved.

Delete Account

Permanently deletes all your data and your Finzen account. You will be logged out immediately and your email will be released. There is no way to recover your account or data after this.


Advanced

API connection status

Finzen connects to external price data providers to keep your investment values up to date. The API Connection Status panel shows the connection health for each asset class individually.

API connection status panel showing Crypto, Stocks/ETFs, Commodities, and Forex connections

API connection status panel with per-asset-class indicators.

For each asset class, you can see:

  • Status — whether the connection is active (Connected / Disconnected)
  • Latest price — how long ago the most recent price data was received
  • Last checked — how long ago Finzen last polled for new data

The asset classes shown are:

Asset classDescription
CryptoCryptocurrency price feeds
Stocks / ETFsStock and ETF market data
CommoditiesPhysical commodities (gold, silver, oil, etc.)
ForexForeign exchange rates

When you refresh prices elsewhere in the app, the timers here reset to reflect the latest check.

Why this matters

If a connection goes down, your portfolio values may stop updating. This panel lets you see at a glance whether Finzen is receiving fresh data — useful for diagnosing why a price might look stale.

Connection status may occasionally be inaccurate

Like the session counter, this panel can sometimes display stale information. If something looks off, try refreshing the page.
