Confirm it's you before sensitive changes #
If you signed in more than an hour ago, these changes now ask you to confirm it's you with a code sent to your email first:
- Turning off two-step verification
- Removing a passkey
- Adding or removing an email address
- Deactivating or deleting your account
After entering the code you're taken back to where you were, and the next hour counts as recently signed in. Within an hour of signing in, nothing changes. The confirmation page only returns you to Ordnary's own sites.

Profile photos #
Upload your own photo under Personal details and settings in the Account Center.
- JPG, PNG and WebP are accepted. Your browser crops the photo to a square and scales it to 512 × 512 px before uploading
- The server checks the real image type of the file, not just its extension
- Photos are served with long-lived, immutable caching, so they load instantly in every app
- Accounts without a photo get an avatar generated from their account ID, so the
pictureclaim in OpenID Connectuserinfois never empty - The ordnary.com header and the Community show your photo as well
