Profile and security

The My Profile page (from the app's user menu) holds your personal details and security controls, split into two tabs.

Personal Information​

Edit your full name, phone, department, and location, then click Save. Your email address is shown here but can't be changed from this screen — if you need to move your account to a new address, contact support@gigtime.app.

Changing your password​

On the Security tab, enter a New Password, confirm it, and click Update Password. If you've forgotten your current password entirely, sign out and use Forgot password? on the login screen instead.

Two-factor authentication​

Gigtime supports TOTP-based two-factor authentication — the standard "6-digit code from an authenticator app" kind. With 2FA on, a stolen password alone isn't enough to get into your account.

To enable it:

  1. Go to My Profile → Security and click Enable under Two-Factor Authentication.
  2. Scan the QR code with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or any TOTP app. Can't scan? A manual-entry secret is shown below the code.
  3. Type the 6-digit code from your app and click Verify & Enable.

From then on, signing in asks for a code from your app after your password.

A few things to know:

  • Codes rotate every 30 seconds; if one is rejected, wait for the next and try again. A wildly wrong device clock can also cause rejections — most authenticator apps have a time-sync option.
  • There are no backup codes, so keep access to your authenticator app (or its own backup feature). If you lose it, contact support@gigtime.app to regain access.
  • To turn 2FA off, click Disable on the same screen.

Session timeout​

Also on the Security tab: how long the app stays signed in while idle — 15 minutes, 30 minutes (the default), 1 hour, or 2 hours. Shorter is safer on shared machines.
