Account & security — MEP Tools

How sign-in, email verification and changes, password changes, notification preferences, data export, and account deletion work in MEP Tools.

Sign-in methods

MEP Tools supports two ways to sign in:

There is no other sign-in method. Registration does not accept disposable email addresses.

Password rules

If you sign in with email and password, your password must be 8–4096 characters, with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character.

The same rule applies whether you are registering, changing your password, or resetting it after a "forgot password" request.

Verify your email

MEP Tools sends a verification email automatically when you register. You can resend it from the verification banner shown in the app, or from your account page.

Verifying your email matters more than it looks: you cannot save a project, start checkout, start a trial, or change your plan until your email is verified. You can still sign in, browse, and run any tool while unverified — the block only applies at those four actions. If something that should work is silently refusing to proceed, check whether your email is verified first.

Change your email

If your account uses email and password, you can request a new sign-in email from /account. Enter the replacement address and your current password.

You do not need access to the old inbox. This lets you recover when the address entered during registration was misspelled or unavailable.

The old address remains active until you open the verification link sent to the replacement address. If the old address was already verified, it also receives a security notice. Google-only accounts manage their email through Google and do not show this control.

Forgot your password

Enter your email on the "forgot password" screen. You will see the same confirmation message every time, whether or not that address has an account. This is deliberate — it stops someone from using the reset form to probe which email addresses are registered.

If the address is registered, a reset link is sent. The link opens the app's own page, which also handles email verification and email-change recovery — so the same link destination covers more than password resets.

Change your password

Change password is only available for accounts that sign in with email and password. If you sign in with Google, this option does not appear — there is no local password on your account to change.

Changing your password asks for your current password first.

Language, theme, and motion

The gear icon in the header opens settings that also apply when you are signed out:

Language and theme are repeated on the account page.

Notification preferences

Account settings include three notification toggles, controlling what you want to receive:

These toggles control your preference, not a delivery guarantee.

The /notifications page lists your notification history. From there you can click a notification to mark it read, mark all as read, dismiss a single notification, or clear all of them.

Export your data

Account settings include one export button. Clicking it downloads a JSON file immediately — there is no email-me-later step. The file is named account-export-<uid>.json and contains your profile, subscription, projects, and notifications.

Delete your account

Account deletion is at /account/delete. Read this section before you start.

This is immediate and permanent. There is no grace period and no undo.

To delete your account you must type the word DELETE and then confirm in a dialog. Once confirmed, MEP Tools:

Some records are kept afterwards: security and audit logs, billing and transaction records, support messages you sent, and anti-abuse signals. The Privacy Policy says for how long.

Before you delete:
