Added an Account Page to Check Login Status and Account Information and Request Account Deletion
We added an /account page so you can manage 5by.ai login status, basic account information, and the explicit account deletion process all in one place.
5BY.AI's web and Chrome extension use the same server authority login state. We added an /account page so users can check which account they are currently logged in with and, if needed, delete their account through a clear procedure.
The purpose of the account page is not to add more settings but to let users directly control their login status and account lifecycle.
What Changed in This Update
- You can check the basic information of the currently logged-in account.
- We simplified the general user login flow to be centered around Google accounts.
- We removed unnecessary password change/reset paths from the public account screen.
- We added checkbox and exact email confirmation for account deletion to reduce the risk of accidental deletion.
- We maintained the structure where the extension does not create a separate account authority but uses the 5by.ai login state.
- We aligned with the usage model where tabs and windows within a single Chrome profile share the same web session and Extension binding.
How to Verify
- Log in to 5by.ai with a Google account.
- Check the current account and login status at /account.
- If account deletion is needed, read the notice and complete the confirmation process.
- If the extension login status appears different, check the web login and current Chrome profile first.
Example in Actual Usage Flow
For example, to verify this change, the user logs in to 5by.ai with a Google account. At /account, they check the current account and login status. If account deletion is needed, they read the notice and complete the confirmation process. Finally, if the extension login status appears different, they check the web login and current Chrome profile first. In this flow, the following conditions should also be checked. Account deletion is a hard-to-reverse operation and is not executed without explicit user confirmation. Therefore, this update is not just adding one more notice item but enabling the user to check the start, result, and limitations of the feature within the same flow.
Before and After the Change
Before the change, users had to guess this feature or notice from other screens or navigate across multiple pages. After this update, we added an /account page so 5by.ai login status, basic account information, and the explicit account deletion process can be managed in one place. However, items where public notices and actual account/runtime status may differ need to be checked separately, and notice text alone should not be interpreted as expanding permissions or availability.
Scope and Things to Note
- Account deletion is a hard-to-reverse operation and is not executed without explicit user confirmation.
- Extension Sign in does not create an independent login screen or separate authentication system.
- To use different 5BY.AI accounts simultaneously, the model of using different Chrome profiles applies.
- Employee email/password fallback is separated from the general user public flow.
Why This Change Matters in the Overall 5BY.AI Structure
Account management is both a convenience feature and a security boundary. Ensuring the web and extension do not have different login authorities and letting users clearly control from account creation to deletion is the core of this page.
Criteria for Verifying This Update
- The public screen title, summary, and actual provided feature should describe the same content.
- Adding a new feature should not arbitrarily change existing Saved, Anchor, Handoff, and account flows.
- Conditions that are in preparation or vary by account should be marked separately without exaggerating as fully available.
