Account Settings manages personal profile information, appearance preferences, login methods, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and API keys from the DNSFilter dashboard.

From the DNSFilter dashboard, navigate to Account > Account Settings.

Profile tab

Profile

Update the account's first and last name from the Profile section. Personal information is not shared with third parties.

To update the email address associated with the account, create a new user.

Contact

The contact section displays the email address used for in-app communications and an optional phone number field.

Select Save to apply changes to the name and phone number. Save is available after an edit. Select Cancel to discard the edits.

Appearance

Control the dashboard theme from the Appearance section. Three modes are available:

• Light: Standard light background
• Dark: Dark background across supported dashboard pages
• System (default): Matches the device's operating system display setting

Update theme settings in two ways:

• Select a mode in the Appearance section. The theme saves immediately, with no Save needed. If the save fails, the theme reverts and an error message displays.

• Toggle theme mode from the icon in the left navigation panel.

Security tab

Login Methods

The Login Methods section displays all authentication methods available to the account. Supported methods include Email/Password and Google Social Sign-In. 

Multi-factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an additional verification step at login using an authentication app. Accounts created before July 2025 can configure MFA individually from this tab. 

Select Enable Multi-Factor Authentication to set up MFA on the account.

API Keys

API keys are managed from the Security tab. Accounts support a maximum of five active keys at one time. 

See API Keys for full documentation on creating and managing API keys.
