The Kith Guide › Getting started
🔑 Account Management
Change your password, check for updates, link Discord, and sign out.
The Account page is the housekeeping. Your sign-in, your Discord link, your display name, updates, and the way into this guide.
What is on it
| Section | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Signed in | Which account you are using. |
| Discord | Link or unlink your Discord identity. |
| Display name | The name other people see on shared things. |
| Change password | Set a new password. |
| App updates | Check for and install updates. |
| Help | The 📖 Training Guide button — this guide, inside the app. |
| Sign out | End the session. |
Linking Discord
This is the one that matters most. Your Discord identity is what ties the app to the rest of Kith.
- Open Account → Discord.
- Click to link and approve the prompt.
- Your avatar and handle appear on the Home Screen.
With Discord linked, the app can show your LFG runs, your Market activity and your orders. Without it, those tools work but cannot tell who you are.
Tip: Unlinking does not delete anything. It just stops the app matching you to your Discord identity until you link again.
Changing your password
- Account → Change password.
- Enter your current password, then the new one twice.
- Confirm.
Updates
The Workshop checks on its own, but you can force it:
- Account → App updates → check.
- If one is available, install it. The app restarts.
- A What's new note lists what changed.
Note: Updating does not touch your saved data — inventories, builds, linked characters and settings all survive.
Signing out
Signs you out and returns to the login screen. Your data stays on the machine; you will not lose anything.
If something goes wrong
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Discord link will not complete | The browser window needs to finish and return to the app. Do not close it early. |
| Password change is rejected | The current password is wrong, or the new one does not meet requirements. |
| "Check for updates" finds nothing but you know there is one | Releases roll out in stages. Wait, or reinstall from the download page. |
| Your display name is not what shows in Discord | They are separate. This one is for Kith; Discord's is Discord's. |
