An explanation of the highlighted elements above:
- Dashboard (1) is the screen you're looking at right now. It gives you an overview of the newest activity by you, the people you follow and in your or your organization's projects.
- Issues (2) and Pull Requests (3) These are overviews of issues and pull requests that you are either involved in or that are part of one of the organizations you belong to.

- The Dashboard Context Switcher (7) If you're part of one or more organizations, you can use this context switcher to let the dashboard display information relevant to the organization, rather than your account.
A word about Security
While it is important to choose a strong password, it is also important to use Two-factor Authentication in case your password or device ever gets compromised, so that should be one of the first things to configure after you have created your account.
We recommend that you use Two-factor Authentication on your account, to increase your security.
Please visit the guide in the security section to learn how to set up 2FA.
