Accounts, Profiles & Sign-out

Alongside login, auth.abair.ie hosts the rest of the account lifecycle. These screens all require a session; reaching them while signed out sends the user through login first and back afterwards.

Sign-up​

New users first choose over 16 or under 16, because under-16s need a parent or caregiver's consent before any voice data is collected:

  • Over 16 — provides an email and password, and agrees to an information sheet and consent declarations.
  • Under 16 — provides a parent/caregiver email alongside the child's email and password; both the parent's and the child's consent declarations must be accepted.

Downloadable information-sheet and consent PDFs are offered in each case. An account cannot be created until every required consent box is ticked.

Profile​

Signed-in users can edit a profile: a username plus optional details such as year of birth, gender, dialect, and level of Irish. For under-16 accounts the parent/caregiver email is editable here too.

Account settings​

The working control today is a mailing-list opt-in / opt-out. Other controls — change password, request data, delete account, notification preferences — are placeholders pending implementation.

Sign-out​

Signing out revokes the session on the server (so the refresh token can no longer be used) and clears all stored session data from the browser. The user is returned to wherever they came from, without any tokens in the URL.
