Profile

The Profile page lets you customize your personal preferences including theme, accent color, timezone, and password, and manage two-factor authentication (MFA). These settings are per-user and do not affect other team members.

How to

Change your password

  1. Navigate to Profile from the user menu.
  2. Scroll to the Security section.
  3. Enter your current password, then your new password twice (it must be at least 12 characters).
  4. Click Change Password. You stay signed in on this device.

Turn on two-factor authentication (MFA)

  1. In the Security section, under Two-Factor Authentication, click Set up MFA.
  2. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy), or type the shown key in manually if you cannot scan.
  3. Enter the 6-digit code from the app and click Confirm & Enable.
  4. Save the recovery codes that appear — copy them or download the .txt file. They are shown only once.

Turn off two-factor authentication

  1. In the Security section, under Two-Factor Authentication, click Disable MFA.
  2. Enter a current code from your authenticator app, or one of your recovery codes.
  3. Click Confirm Disable.

Gotchas

  • Changing your password signs you out of all your OTHER devices and active sessions — only the device you change it on stays logged in. This is intentional: a password change rotates your credentials, so any other (or stolen) session is invalidated.
  • Password change is not available for SSO accounts. If you sign in through single sign-on, your password lives with your identity provider — change it there.
  • Recovery codes are shown only ONCE, right after you enable MFA. Save them somewhere safe — they are the only way back in if you lose your authenticator device. They are never displayed again.
  • Disabling MFA requires your second factor (a current authenticator code or a recovery code), NOT your password. This stops a stolen session from silently turning MFA off.
  • MFA is not available for SSO accounts — your identity provider handles second factors for those logins. It may also be disabled, or required, by a deployment-wide policy set by an administrator.
  • If you lose your device and have no recovery codes left, ask an administrator to reset your MFA. The owner account can use the break-glass recovery path documented in Getting Started.
