Your account

These settings are yours alone. Nothing here affects your organization or the people in it.

Two-factor authentication

Add a second step to your sign-in using an authenticator app.

If your organization requires two-factor authentication, you will be told so here, and you may have been given a window to set it up rather than being locked out on the spot. Do it early in that window. The alternative is doing it under time pressure on the day it expires.

If your account came in through your organization’s identity provider, this does not apply to you: that check has already happened, and Taiga does not ask you to do it twice.

Signing in with a Google account is not the same thing. If your organization requires two-factor authentication, you still enroll here.

API keys

API keys connect external tools to Taiga. The main case today is your coding environment: any editor or agent that speaks MCP.

Create a key, give it a name that says what it is for, and choose whether it expires.

Copy it immediately. The key is shown once, at creation, and never again. If you lose it, revoke it and create another. There is no way to recover the original.

Two habits worth having:

• Name keys after the machine or tool, not after yourself. “Work laptop” tells you what to revoke when the laptop is lost. “My key” does not.
• Set an expiration unless you have a specific reason not to. A key that expires is a key you cannot forget about.

Revoking a key takes effect immediately and cannot be undone.

Notifications

Agent work takes long enough that you will do something else while it runs, which is the problem these settings solve.

Wherever you are in Taiga, a short message in the corner of the page tells you when the line picks an initiative up, and again when it is done with it: merged, ready for you to review the plan or the pull request, or stopped and needing you. The message names the product, so work in another product is easy to tell apart from what is in front of you. Your own actions do not produce one; the page itself shows their effect. That message is always on. The three cues below are yours to choose.

Three independent cues for when an agent finishes:

• A short chime.
• A flash of the browser tab title, so you can spot completed work from another tab.
• A system notification from your operating system.

Pick whichever suits how you work. The tab flash is the least intrusive and the most reliable if you keep Taiga open in a background tab.

Email when something needs you

Taiga emails you when an initiative assigned to you is waiting on you: when the work on it stops and needs a person, when its plan is ready and waits for your approval before anything is built, when its pull request is ready for your review, and when it is assigned to you. Your own actions never send one. The email names the product and links to the initiative.

This email is on until you turn it off, under Email in your notification settings. Updates on initiatives you only follow do not arrive by email.

Profile and appearance

Your name and details, and whether the interface follows your system theme or a fixed light or dark setting.
