Where to find it
Main menu → Preferences → Accounts → choose an account
DinoX can manage several XMPP accounts. Contacts, keys and connection rules belong to individual accounts. Check the address before making changes. Use the plus in the account overview to add another account.
Temporarily disabling an account differs from removing it. Local removal does not automatically delete the account at its provider. Read the confirmation carefully.
What do the choices mean?
XMPP address and local alias
The address identifies the account. A local alias helps you distinguish your own accounts.
Password
Changes the provider account password: enter the current password and the new password twice, then confirm. Other devices must subsequently use the new account password. The local DinoX database password remains unchanged.
Connection status
Shows whether this account is connected or why sign-in failed. Other accounts can have a different state.
Public profile
Edit your picture, name, nickname and optional details. Only enter a birthday, address, phone or job information if you want to share it. Check “Public Access” and “Share with Contacts”, then save changes.
Timezone
Timezone sharing tells contacts your local time. It does not send your precise location.
Login protection and connection security
These rules apply only to the selected account. Their chapters explain the indicators and choices.
