Account & Sign-In¶

This page explains how to create a Kamerplanter account, sign in, and manage your personal settings such as profile, language and active sessions.

Prerequisites¶

• Your Kamerplanter instance runs in Full Mode
• A valid email address you have access to

Creating an Account (Registration)¶

1. Open the sign-in page and click Don't have an account? Register

2. Fill in the form:

   Field	Description
   Display Name	Your name as shown in the app
   Email	Your sign-in email address
   Password	At least 10 characters
   Confirm Password	Must match the password

3. Click Register

Registration automatically creates your personal tenant (see Tenants & Gardens) — your private space for plants, locations and tasks.

Confirming Your Email Address¶

After registering, you receive an email with a confirmation link.

1. Open the email and click the confirmation link
2. The page shows Email successfully verified — you can now sign in
3. Click Log in to go straight to the sign-in page

When the Confirmation Link No Longer Works¶

If the link is older than 24 hours or was copied incompletely, the page shows a red notice instead of the success message — for example Invalid or expired token. Below it you will find the same Log in button, which takes you back to the sign-in page. From there you can sign in (if your address was already confirmed via an earlier link) or use Forgot password? to have another email sent to you.

Signing In¶

With Email and Password¶

1. Enter your email address and password
2. Optionally enable Remember me
3. Click Log in

Signing In with Google, GitHub or Another Provider¶

If your administrator has configured external sign-in providers, additional buttons such as Log in with Google appear below the sign-in form. Under the hood, Kamerplanter uses OpenID Connect (OIDC), an open standard that connects providers such as Google, GitHub or Apple.

1. Click the button for the provider you want to use
2. Sign in with the provider and confirm access
3. You are redirected back to Kamerplanter and signed in

If a local account with the same, confirmed email address already exists, the provider is automatically linked to that account. If sign-in fails, you land back on the sign-in page with an error message and can try again or sign in with email and password instead.

Temporary Account Lock¶

After several failed sign-in attempts in a row, the system temporarily locks your account to protect it from automated attacks. The lockout starts at a few minutes and increases with further failed attempts — the sign-in form shows how much longer the lock lasts. Wait until the lock expires or reset your password (see below).

Forgot and Reset Your Password¶

1. On the sign-in page, click Forgot password?
2. Enter your email address and click Send Reset Link
3. You see the confirmation If an account with this email exists, a reset link has been sent

1. Open the reset link from the email (valid for 1 hour)
2. Choose a new password (at least 10 characters) and confirm it
3. Click Save Password — you are redirected to the sign-in page

Managing Profile, Language and Timezone¶

Open your account settings via your profile picture or initials in the top right of the navigation bar.

In the Profile tab you can change:

Click Save after making changes.

Changing Your Password and Managing Sign-In Providers¶

In the Security tab of your account settings you manage how you sign in.

Changing or Setting Your Password¶

• If you already have a local password, enter your current password and choose a new one
• If you have only ever signed in via an external provider (e.g. Google), you can set a local password here as well — without a current password, since none exists yet. Afterwards you can sign in either with email/password or via the provider.

Linked Sign-In Providers¶

The list shows all sign-in methods linked to your account (local password, Google, GitHub, …). You can unlink a provider as long as at least one other sign-in method remains. Your last remaining sign-in method cannot be removed, so you can never be locked out of your account.

Viewing and Ending Active Sessions¶

The Sessions tab shows all devices and browsers you are currently signed in on:

To end a session you don't recognize or no longer need, click the trash icon on that row. You cannot end your current session here — for that, use Log out in the account menu.

Experience Level and Other Settings¶

In the Experience tab of your account settings you can also:

• adjust your experience level (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert) — see Getting Started — Onboarding for details on the three levels
• set your watering can size, which is used as a default in dosing calculators
• restart the setup wizard, for example to add another scenario

Which functional areas you show or hide independently of your experience level is controlled in the Modules & Features tab — see Modules & Features.

In the API Keys tab (access tokens for programmatic access, e.g. your own scripts), you can create and revoke personal API keys. See the API documentation for details.

Deleting Your Account¶

In the Account tab of your account settings, the red-highlighted area contains the Delete Account button. It immediately deactivates your account and removes your sign-in credentials — you can no longer sign in afterwards.
