Your account

Your account is who you are to the people you work with, and the way you sign in. It is the Account section of the settings: open them with ⌘,Ctrl+, and click your name at the top of the list.

The Account section: the card with the initials, name, address and counts, then Name, Email, Passkeys, Sessions, Your data and Delete the account

On top, your photo (or your initials), your name, your address and since when you are on Blupinta (on Blupinta since October 2026), then how many projects you own, how many are shared with you (archived projects aside), and your floor kits.

Name is how the people you invite see you: in the projects you share, in comments, in who is online. Type it in the field, then press ↵↵ or click elsewhere: it says Saved. EscEsc puts back what was there. It is up to 80 characters; an empty name isn’t saved. Until you give one, your address stands in for it. For example: NameAnna Clarke.

The small camera on the photo’s corner is Change photo:

  1. Click it (with a photo already, choose Choose a photo… in its menu).
  2. Pick a PNG, JPG or WebP picture. Blupinta cuts a square from its middle and makes it small before sending it, so any photo from a phone will do.
  3. It says Photo changed., and your photo shows at once wherever you appear.

Remove photo, in the same menu, takes it away: Photo removed: your initials are back. A file that isn’t a picture says This image doesn’t open: try another one. and changes nothing.

Email is your account: sign-in links and invitations arrive there. It can’t be changed.

A passkey lets you sign in with your device’s fingerprint, face or PIN, without waiting for an email (Signing in). The row reads Add while you have none, then 1 passkey · Manage: either opens the list under it.

  1. Click Add a passkey. Its name starts as your browser and system (Chrome on Windows); change it to recognise it later, for example the device or the password manager that keeps it.
  2. Click Add a passkey in the window: your browser’s own window asks for your fingerprint, face or PIN.
  3. It says Passkey added., and the passkey is in the list, with when it was added and last used.
Add a passkey: the name, Chrome on Windows, and the Add a passkey button
The passkeys open under their row: one passkey, Chrome on Windows, added now and never used, and Add a passkey

The ⋯ beside a passkey has Rename the passkey and Remove. Removing asks first (Remove the passkey?): that passkey won’t sign you in any more, but it stays on the device until you remove it there too. The email link always works, so removing every passkey never locks you out.

If you close the browser’s window nothing is added. A browser that can’t use passkeys says This browser can’t use passkeys: sign in with the email link.

While you have no passkey, a card beside your projects suggests one, Sign in faster: Add a passkey there opens this section (Your projects).

Sessions lists the devices you’re signed in on (2 active · See): each with its browser and system, how it signed in (with the email link, or with the passkey “…”) and when it was last active. Yours says This device. Each device stays signed in for 30 days from its last use.

Sessions: Safari on iOS with Sign out, and Chrome on Windows marked This device, then Sign out of this device
  • Sign out, beside another device, signs it out at once: the next thing done there asks to sign in again. Use it for a computer you no longer use, or one that isn’t yours.
  • Sign out of this device signs this one out and goes to the sign-in page (the same as Sign out in your menu).

Connected apps lists the apps you allowed to use your account (1 connected · See): each with what it may do, the project it reads, who allowed it and when it was last used. Disconnect asks first, then stops it at once. See Connecting an app.

Export, beside Your data, downloads everything you put in Blupinta as one zip (blupinta-2026-10-07.zip, with the day’s date):

  • account.json: your address, name, language, settings, your passkeys’ names and your sessions;
  • your photo, if you have one;
  • projects/: a folder for each project you own, with its .home.json (the home, which the editor opens again: see The home file), its details and its files (the drawings you imported);
  • memberships.json: the projects other people shared with you, and your role in each;
  • comments.json: the comments you wrote;
  • kits.json and kits/: your floor and wall tiles kits and their pictures.

You can export 5 times an hour.

Delete…, beside Delete the account, opens the steps under its row. Deleting removes your account, the projects you own with their files, your passkeys and the devices signed in. The comments you left in other people’s projects stay, without your name.

  1. If you own projects other people work on, they are listed first, each with how many people are in it: decide what happens to each, from Open its people (hand it over to another member, or delete it: see Inviting people). Delete the account waits until none is left.
  2. Click Delete the account. It asks: Delete the account?, with your address.
  3. Delete for good deletes it. You land on the sign-in page: The account was deleted.
Delete the account waiting: Example flat, shared with 2 people, to hand over or delete first from Open its people
Delete the account? The account, the projects you own and their files will be gone for good, with Cancel and Delete for good

This can’t be undone: take your data with Export first. Cancel leaves everything as it was.
