Your profile settings cover the things that belong to you, not your account: your display name, the email you sign in with, your password, and two-factor authentication. Open them from the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar, then choose Profile Settings. Every signed-in user has this page, whatever their role.
Where to find it
The profile settings page is reached from the user menu, not from the admin area.1
Open the user menu
Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar.
2
Choose Profile Settings
The page opens with a single Profile settings card. Each setting shows as a row with its current value and an Edit button. The two-factor row has Enable or Disable instead.
What you can change
The card has up to four rows.
Name is the only profile field you can edit. There is no avatar, no separate first and last name, and no locale, timezone, or other profile attribute to set here.
Change your name
Click Edit on the Name row, type the new name, and save. Save is available once the name is non-empty and different from the current one. On success you see a “Name updated.” confirmation and the name in the sidebar refreshes immediately.Change the email you sign in with
Changing your email is a two-step flow. It does not switch over the moment you save.1
Enter the new email and your current password
Click Edit on the Email row. Type the New email and your Current password (this confirms it is really you), then choose Update email.
2
Confirm the new address
Click the confirmation link sent to the new address. Until you do, you keep signing in with your old email.
Change your password
Click Edit on the Password row, enter your Current password and a New password, then choose Change password. The change takes effect right away, and a confirmation email is sent to you. The new password must be at least 10 characters. If it is too short, an error appears next to the field; pick a longer one and try again. A shorter password you set earlier keeps working until you change it.Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication asks for a six-digit code from an authenticator app each time you sign in with your password. The Two-factor authentication row shows On or Off.Turn it on
1
Start setup
On the Two-factor authentication row, click Enable.
2
Confirm your password
Enter your current password and click Continue. If you signed in through SSO, this step is skipped.
3
Scan the QR code
Scan the QR code with your authenticator app. If you cannot scan it, click Can’t scan? Show the secret and enter the setup key by hand. Type the code your app shows into Verification code and click Verify.
4
Save your backup codes
You get 10 backup codes. Each one signs you in once if you lose access to your authenticator app. Use Copy or Download to save them somewhere safe, tick I saved these codes, and click Done. This is the only time the codes are shown, and the dialog cannot be closed until you confirm.
Turn it off
Click Disable on the row, enter your current password (skipped if you signed in through SSO), and click Disable. You get an email confirming the change. If your account requires two-factor authentication (see Security), turning it off takes you straight back to setup, because you cannot use the account without it.There is no way to view your backup codes again or generate a new set on its own. To get fresh codes, turn two-factor authentication off and on again. If you lose both your authenticator and your backup codes, ask an account owner or admin to reset your two-factor authentication.
If you sign in through SSO
When your account is linked to a single sign-on (SSO) identity provider, some settings are managed for you and cannot be changed here.- Email is locked. The Email row has no Edit button, and hovering it shows “Your email is managed by your identity provider.” Your provider re-syncs your email each time you sign in, so an in-app change would not stick.
- The Password row is hidden. You sign in through your provider, so there is no in-app password to change.
- Name is still editable. You can update your display name as usual. If your provider sends a name, it may re-sync on your next sign-in.
- Two-factor authentication is still available. The row stays, and when you signed in through SSO you are not asked for a password to turn it on or off.
Gotchas
- Email changes are not instant. Your sign-in email stays the same until you click the confirmation link sent to the new address. If you “changed” your email but still sign in with the old one, the new address has not been confirmed yet, so check the new inbox for the link.
- An email change sends two emails; a password change sends one. Changing your email notifies both the new address (the confirmation link) and your old address (a security notice). Changing your password sends one confirmation to you.
- Both email and password require your current password. This confirms your identity before either changes.
- Name is the only editable profile field. Avatars, separate name parts, locale, and timezone do not exist on this page.
- SSO accounts cannot change email or password here. Those controls are hidden or blocked because your identity provider owns them. Name remains editable.
- Backup codes are shown once. Save them when you turn on two-factor authentication. Each code works once.
