When you’ve tried logging in and it fails with an error message saying that the account is locked, these could be the reasons.

Account hasn’t been activated

Before logging in for the first time, you need to activate the account with a code from an email we sent to the email address you gave as the recovery email during registration.

Please check your mailbox (including the Spam folder) for the email and activate the account. Then try logging in again.

In case the code has expired or you can’t find the email, send yourself a new account activation email.

If you know you made a typo in the recovery email or gave an invalid email address, please reach out to us using the contact form at the end of this article.

Vivaldi Webmail

Vivaldi Webmail is a service for active Vivaldi Community members using Vivaldi’s services. This means that new users, who registered their account after 4th of May 2023, and users who registered between October 2019 and May 2023, but never verified their phone number, first need to build up a reputation to be granted access to the Webmail service.

The reputation system is replacing the previous requirement to verify an account via one’s phone, that was set up to limit the number of spam accounts. For additional information, read our blog post on the topic.

Used the wrong password too many times

In case you’ve forgotten your password and have tried logging in with the wrong password at least 5 times, the account will get locked for 5 minutes as a security measure. When the 5 minutes have passed, reset the login password to access your account again.

Account got locked for breaking Vivaldi’s Terms of Use

When you’re breaking Vivaldi’s Terms of Use on any of our services, the whole account will be locked and logging in to Vivaldi services will no longer be possible. Some blocking, for example due to misbehaviour on the Forum, is done manually by Forum admins and moderators. Other, such as spamming in Webmail, is mostly done automatically by our antispam filters.

If you feel this blocking has been done in error, please reach out to us and explain what happened. We’ll look into the issue.

Event layouts

There are 3 different event layout options available in Vivaldi Calendar:

• Full – Shows the event time, title, description, location and link of the event.
  
• Compact – Shows the same as above, but if the description or link info are too long only limited amount of that info will be displayed.
  
• Minimal – Only event time and title are shown.
  

To switch between these views, click on the layout buttons in the top right corner of the Calendar tab, next to the Filter and Search field. Alternatively, change the view in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Settings > Events Layout.

---

Calendar spacing

In Vivaldi, the time slots in the calendar don’t have fixed widths and heights and longer events don’t necessarily take up more space. Instead the time slots adjust according to the amount of information you have about the event. Meaning, an event with a long title and description lasting only for an hour can take up more space than a 5 hour long event with a short title and description.

In Settings > Calendar you can manage your Calendar accounts and their calendars. In addition, you can adjust various settings for the Calendar interface and for managing events.

Calendar display

Show event property icons

By enabling the option Show Icons for Event Properties you can see whether the event information includes a link and a location, whether it’s a recurring event and if it’s a task or not.

Show week number

In Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display you can toggle the visibility of week numbers.

In Day, Week, Multiweek, Month and Agenda view week numbers will be shown on top of the page, next to the currently shown date range. In Month and Year view, week numbers are shown in front of the week rows.

To decide which day the week starts with, go to Settings > General > Language > Preferred Date & Time Format.

Event views

There are 3 different view options available in the Vivaldi Calendar. They can be changed from Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Events View or from the top right corner of the Calendar tab.

• Full – Shows the event time, title, description, location and link of the event.
• Compact – Shows the same as above, but if the description or link info are too long only limited amount of that info will be displayed.
• Minimal – Only event time and title are shown.

Day settings

For day and week view you can adjust the core hours of your day to fit your routine. Set the day’s start time and and end time in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Day Settings. In addition, you can decide whether to show the time slots outside your core hours in the Calendar or not by enabling or disabling Collapse out of Day Hours.

Time increments

In Day and Week view you can divide each time slot into smaller increments. You can choose between 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Time Increments.

You can also choose, whether you want the dividing lines between these smaller timeslots to be visible (like on the screenshot below) or not by toggling on or off the setting for Show only 1 Hour Grid Lines.

Furthermore, when navigating the calendar with your keyboard, you can decide, whether you’ll focus on each 15 or 30 minute time slot (like on the screenshot above) or just on the full hour. Toggle the setting Use 1 Hour Increments for Keyboard Navigation on or off according to your preference.

Default action for clicking on time slots

When navigating the calendar a single click on a time slot can either focus on the selected period or open the event editor. You can choose which you prefer in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Click on Time Slot Should. When you’ve chosen to select a period, then to start creating a new event, double click on the time slot.

Default action for clicking outside the event

Normally, you’d click Done or Cancel/Delete when you’re finished with editing an event, but you can also just click outside the event editor. You can decide what happens when you do that in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Display > Click Outside Event Should. You can either discard the changes you were making or you can save them.

---

Calendar editing

Edit mode

In Vivaldi Calendar you can create and edit events either inline, meaning in the calendar view itself, or in a popup dialog. Choose the one you prefer in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Settings > Edit mode.

Default event duration

If most of your events are the same length, it can save you a few clicks when you set the default event length to match it. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Default Event Duration to choose the a length between no duration (event start and end time are the same) to 8 hours.

Default event reminder

To automatically set a reminder for all events at your chosen time, go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Default Event Reminder and choose, how many minutes, hours or days before the event’s start time do you want to get a reminder. By default, reminders are turned off. Regardless of your default setting, you can change the reminder time per event when creating a new event or editing an existing one.

Auto Adjust event’s end time

When changing the start time of an event, by default, the end time changes as well, to keep the event’s duration the same. In Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Auto Adjust End Time you can change it to Never, if you prefer to keep the event’s end time the same even when you change the start time. You can also choose to change the end time for all events, expect all day events.

Auto Focus Next Date/Time

When editing the start and end time of an event by typing, as soon as you finish entering the full date/time, the next date/time will be focused. If you don’t like that behaviour, you can disable this setting in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Auto Focus Next Date/Time. That way, you can type the date in one go, e.g. 04-05-2022, but you’ll manually have to move focus to the time field, e.g. 09:00.

---

Calendar notifications

You can set notifications for the events in your calendar, used mostly for event reminders.

Notification style

In Settings > Calendar > Calendar Notifications > Notification Style you can decide how the notification is displayed. You can choose between:

• System notification.
  
• A popup dialog in the browser.
  
• A melting browser effect followed by a popup dialog.
  
• A burning browser effect followed by a popup dialog.
  

Notification sound

Notifications can be accompanied by a sound. You can choose between 3 different sounds (Ding, Rooster, Tada) or have sounds disabled.

---

Calendar integration

Calendar mail account

To share events, the Calendar needs to be linked to a mail account. Select the mail account in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Integration > Calendar Mail Account.

To add a new Mail account, check out the help page about adding and managing Mail accounts.

Send invite email message

When you add participants’ email addresses to the event, then right after saving the event you can send an invitation email to the participants. From Settings > Calendar > Calendar Integration > Send Invite Email Message you can choose whether to:

• ask you each time,
• always send messages, or
• never send messages.

If you choose to send a message, you can add a note to the email.

---

Local account

Vivaldi Calendar comes with a local account already set up. Calendars and events under the local account are stored on the computer and can only be viewed and managed in the browser instance they were created in.

This option is good from a privacy viewpoint as events won’t be stored on third-party servers, but inconvenient, if you’d like to access and manage your events from multiple locations and share with others.

---

Online accounts

You can also use Vivaldi Calendar with online accounts, in which case calendars and events are stored on the calendar service provider’s servers and can be accessed from multiple clients.

Add an online account

To add a new online calendar account:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar accounts;
2. Click on  Add account below the list of accounts;
3. Select the account type:
   • Vivaldi.net,

   • Google Calendar,
   • Apple iCloud,
   • CalDAV,
   • Web calendar.
4. Click Continue.
5. Fill in the rest of the information (read below for further instructions for each account type);
6. Click Create account.

Vivaldi.net

Vivaldi webmail comes with an online calendar feature. You can add the CalDAV calendar easily to the browser because the browser detects the calendar link automatically on login.

2. Type in your Vivaldi account’s email address (all lowercase letters) and password.
3. Click Add Account.

6. Click Done or Add Another Account if you have more accounts to add.

Note! By default, Google Calendar will add a notification to all new events which have no notifications. If you experience unexpected reminders on events created in the Vivaldi Calendar, please check the settings on the Google Calendar site. It is not enough to turn off the global notification setting, so check each calendar’s settings separately.

iCloud calendar

6. Click Done or Add Another Account if you have more accounts to add.

Web Calendar

Web calendars, for example, local public holidays or your favorite sports team’s match calendar, are a good way to follow events that you don’t want to add manually yourself, but would still like to know about. Web calendar events are read-only, meaning you can view them, but only the calendar owner can edit the events.

After you’ve selected Web Calendar as the account type:

1. Give the Calendar account a name.
2. Enter the calendar’s link (make sure the URL ends with .ics).
3. Click Add Account.

Depending on the website, you may see the full content in the feed reader or only a snippet with a link to the full version. Subscribing to feeds saves you time from checking each website you like to follow manually. In Vivaldi browser, the feed reader is part of the email client and supports RSS and Atom newsfeed formats as well as DC (Dublin Core) extensions to RSS and Atom.

Subscribe to Feeds

From a website

Address Bar

2. Click on the name of the feed.
3. Preview the feed’s posts.
4. Click on Follow Feed.
5. Review the feed’s title and refresh interval.
6. Click Add Feed.

Some sites offer both RSS and Atom feeds. Select the option you prefer.

In case you don’t see the icon on the Address Bar, but you’re sure the site offers feeds, go to Settings > Feeds > Feed Detection and make sure Detect Feeds in Web Pages is enabled.

Feeds link on the page

Most websites that offer feeds have a subscription link somewhere on their website.

1. Locate the Feeds (RSS) subscription link;
2. Click it to see the feed preview;
3. Click Subscribe on top of the preview page.

In Vivaldi settings

To manually add a feed to Vivaldi:

1. Go to Settings > Feeds;
2. Click on Add Feed below the list of feeds;

In Settings > Feeds, you can also decide whether you want to see a notification, when there’s a new feed post.

Subscribing to YouTube feeds

Subscribing to YouTube feeds with Vivaldi Feed Reader is a good way to follow your favorite content creators without a Google account or even visiting YouTube’s website.

YouTube feeds contain details of the video, which Vivaldi extracts and embeds in the feed body. YouTube videos supplied in this way are embedded using YouTube’s ‘nocookie’ option, which means that YouTube should not set any tracking cookies unless you actually choose to play the video.Vivaldi can also detect and embed YouTube videos in feeds from other websites, if they choose to supply details of a YouTube video in the same way. This may allow the YouTube website to see that you are viewing a feed from another website, and you may choose to disable it for privacy reasons. You can do it in Settings > Feeds > Attachments > disable Embed YouTube Links in Attachments. When disabled, Vivaldi can use the normal feed links to link to the video instead.
