This release is about getting in and getting started. You can now sign in with a password, not just a one-time code or Google, and change your account email securely when you need to. New to Zerosum? One click now builds a fully worked sample budget so you can see how everything fits together before committing your own numbers. Alongside that, your budgeting history gains a Money Moves view, undo reaches back twice as far, and a long run of fixes sharpens analytics, charts, loans, bank logos, and the budget table.
New: sign in with a password. Password sign-in is now the default way in, alongside Google and the email code you've always been able to use. Sign-up, sign-in, and forgot-password each get their own page, new accounts still verify your email first and then set a password, and forgotten passwords have a proper reset flow. Every password is checked against known data breaches, so you can't pick one that's already been leaked.
New: change your email securely. You can now update your account email from Settings, with a verification step to confirm the change is really you. If you've connected a bank through Lunch Flow, Zerosum asks you to disconnect it first and walks you through reconnecting.
Two-factor is now tied to your password. Setting up and managing two-factor authentication now uses your account password, replacing the older passwordless setup.

New: start from a sample budget. From the empty state or Manage Budgets, one click builds a complete six-month sample budget, real categories, goals, and transactions, so you can explore how Zerosum works before entering your own numbers. It's clearly badged as a sample and easy to dismiss when you're ready for the real thing.

New: see your money moves. The History panel gains a Money Moves view, a running record of every budgeting change from the last 90 days: what you budgeted, removed, moved, or auto-budgeted. Auto-budget runs expand to show exactly which categories changed and by how much.
Undo reaches back further. Undo and redo now remember your last 100 changes, up from 50.
The budget table flexes to your numbers. Columns now size to the widest amount actually in the month and to each row's name, so typical budgets fit without horizontal scrolling, seven-figure balances get the room they need, and your larger-text setting is respected throughout.
Budget it all in one move. Assigning from Ready to Budget now prefills the full available amount in the card popover and mobile drawer, so "put it all here" is a single confirmation, with partial amounts still a keystroke away.
Tidier money-change toasts. The little confirmations that appear when you move money no longer stack up over the entry area on mobile: a new one replaces the last, you can tap to dismiss, and they clear faster on touch.
A cleaner sidebar and a refreshed logo. The sidebar footer now shows just your name (your email is still one click away in the menu), and the Zerosum logo across the app and browser tab moves to its tile lockup.
Thank you for being here. ❤️
