My account: language, profile and passkey

Everyone chooses their own language – German or English. In the admin the choice is in the account menu at the top right under “My language”; members change it in their profile. It applies on all devices, including e-mails. Whoever has not chosen one gets the member area's default language (Settings → “General”).

The “Date format” is also chosen by each person, independent of the language: “Same as language” (the default) or a fixed format, such as with dots, with slashes, American with a 12-hour clock, or as an ISO date. It applies on all devices and in mails to the person. Certificates, learning records and the verify page always follow the language.

“Light”, “Dark” or “System” (follows the device): in the admin you switch with the “Appearance” toggle in the top bar, members choose in their profile under “Appearance”. The choice applies to this device.

In the admin: account menu → “Edit profile”. There you upload a picture (“Upload picture”, choose the crop and zoom, “Save picture”) and change your name. If you sign in with Google, CourseKit first takes your Google picture; one of your own replaces it, and after “Remove” the Google picture does not come back by itself. CourseKit stores the picture scaled down and without metadata such as the place it was taken.

Members change their name and picture themselves in their profile. A member's picture is seen only by the person and your team, never by other members. Your picture and name only appear to members if you are shown as the coach under “Appearance” → “Your coach”. The name is printed on certificates.

Owners, admins and editors can sign in with a passkey instead of the e-mail link – with Face ID, Touch ID or the device PIN. You set it up in the account menu under “Edit profile” → “Passkeys” with “Add passkey”. Once a passkey exists, the sign-in page shows the button “Team sign-in with passkey”. The e-mail link keeps working.

Note: A passkey only works at your CourseKit address (yourname.coursekit.de), not on a custom domain. It opens the admin only while the person is in the team – whoever is demoted or removed can no longer get in with it. Members do not have passkeys.
