Signing in

Brivoda signs you in with the email address your beta invitation went to. Each sign-in sends an email with a six-digit code and a sign-in link; there is no password. The email can take a few minutes and sometimes arrives in a spam or junk folder. If you chose Google when you joined, Sign in with Google works too.

Getting started

Setup asks a few questions and creates your first scenario, the set of figures the calculators start from. For your first 30 days the dashboard shows a Getting started panel with links to the main tools.

Comparing options

Each calculator works from the figures in a scenario, and many show options side by side, such as different Social Security claiming ages. Brivoda does not pick an option; the comparison shows how each one works out for the figures entered.

Explanations on each page

Explanations appear on the page beside the tools and results. Many pages include common questions written in advance. Terms such as RMD or IRMAA are explained where they appear.

The Brivoda Guide, an AI-powered educational guide, answers questions only after you allow it to send them to its AI providers. Its answers can be wrong, and its quality review is not finished. The permission can be withdrawn in Settings → Privacy.

Your privacy choices

Settings → Privacy holds the usage-analytics choice and the Guide’s AI permission. Usage analytics run only if you agree to them, and Brivoda does not record your screen.

Your data

Settings → Data has Download my data, a readable PDF with the complete file beside it, and the choice to delete your account. A deleted account is removed 30 days after the request; until then, signing in lets you keep it.

Sending feedback

Every member page has a Feedback button at the top. It sends what the feedback is about, an optional note and the name of the page. Your account name and email address are not attached to the review, but anything written in the note is visible. Feedback is kept for at most 12 months.

Contacting support

Support is at support@brivoda.com. A person reads every message and replies. Support never needs your figures, account numbers, Social Security number or passwords, and never asks for them.
