Summary

Refreshes the Docker accounts section to clarify what a Docker account is, how Docker IDs / email / sign-in methods relate, and how individual accounts differ from organizations. Also updates create, manage, deactivate, and FAQ pages for terminology consistency, clearer verification/sign-in flows (tabs), and cross-links.

Changes

  • Expand accounts overview with identity and individual vs organization concepts
  • Restructure create-account and sign-in steps into tabs; tighten OTP/verification copy
  • Refresh manage, deactivate, and FAQ pages (titles, linkTitles, wording, What's next)

To do: verify UI (separate PR)

  • Confirm create-account Email / Google or GitHub tabs render and switch correctly
  • Confirm sign-in tabs (Email or Docker ID / Google or GitHub / CLI) render correctly
  • Spot-check accounts overview grid cards and links
  • Spot-check manage, deactivate, and FAQ pages for formatting and cross-links
  • Confirm sidebar linkTitles (Create, Manage, FAQs) look right in nav

…tes.

Clarify individual vs organization accounts, refresh create/manage/deactivate/FAQ pages, and align terminology away from personal-account wording.

Assessment: 🟡 NEEDS ATTENTION

Documentation refresh for the Docker accounts section. The changes are well-structured overall: cleaner prose, improved list formatting, correct tab shortcodes, and useful cross-links in "What's next" sections. No vendored/generated files, no missing redirect aliases.

One medium-severity clarity issue: the new text on the overview page states Docker doesn't support linking multiple sign-in methods, but the manage-account page has a "Manage connected accounts" section with a Disconnect flow that implies otherwise. The distinction between "you can't add a second sign-in method" and "you can disconnect an OAuth provider you signed up with" is real but needs to be made explicit.

Tighten account identity framing, surface Organization overview in the grid, and align create-account linking language with email-plus-one-social behavior.

Spell out that disconnecting Google or GitHub removes OAuth access without changing the Docker ID or adding another sign-in method.

Keep the connected-accounts clarification while putting back the sections dropped in the prior commit.

…ions.

Rely on the overview grid for navigation instead of repeating next-step lists on create, deactivate, and FAQ pages.

Keep a brief account-types pointer on the accounts index with links to
Organizations and Administration, and document individual vs organization
accounts on the organization overview with a link back to Accounts.

Assessment: 🟢 APPROVE

The Docker accounts refresh is well-executed. Changes are clear, concise, and consistent with the documentation style guide. Tabbed layouts for create-account and sign-in flows are well-formed. Terminology is consistent across all updated pages. No broken links, missing redirects, AI-generated patterns, or markdown formatting issues were found in the changed code.

[LOW] Awkward double "by" phrasing

The sentence "You can change your password by starting a password reset by email:" uses "by" twice in quick succession, which reads awkwardly. Consider rephrasing to something like: "To change your password, start a password reset by email:" or "You can change your password with a password reset email:"

- Email: How Docker contacts you for notifications and security-related
communications.
- Sign-in method: Email and password, Google, or GitHub.

Same as above, I don't think we need a docs section explaining the pw reset flow
