## Managing your own user profile[​](#managing-your-own-user-profile "Direct link to Managing your own user profile")

You can update your name, password, phone number, avatar image, and light/dark mode preferences. Begin by clicking your user avatar at the top-right of the screen, then select the **User settings** link. All user profile preferences are available in the **Password** and **Details** tabs.

### Updating your password[​](#updating-your-password "Direct link to Updating your password")

After clicking your avatar at the top-right of the screen and selecting **User settings**, open the **Password** tab. Enter your current password, then select a new password. Your password must contain:

* At least 8 characters
* At least one uppercase letter
* At least one lowercase letter
* At least one number

### Resetting a forgotten password[​](#resetting-a-forgotten-password "Direct link to Resetting a forgotten password")

If you have forgotten your password, navigate to <https://app.prismatic.io>. If you are not logged out, do so by clicking your avatar at the top-right of the screen and selecting **Logout**.

Enter your email address, then click **Continue**. Click the **Forgot password?** button and then click **Continue** again. You will receive an email with a password reset link where you can create a new password.

### Updating your name, avatar, or phone number[​](#updating-your-name-avatar-or-phone-number "Direct link to Updating your name, avatar, or phone number")

After clicking your avatar at the top-right of the screen, select the **Details** tab. You can modify your name or phone number from this screen. If you provide a phone number, it can be used by your team members for monitoring and alerting purposes. If you modify your avatar image, the uploaded image will be resized and cropped to 500 x 500 pixels. Transparent PNG avatar images typically yield the best results.

### Setting light or dark mode[​](#setting-light-or-dark-mode "Direct link to Setting light or dark mode")

By default, the web application will present light or dark mode to match your operating system settings. To override the light/dark mode setting, click your avatar at the top-right of the screen, and click the **Light** or **Dark** button as needed.

Light/dark mode settings are associated with your user account, so if you set a preference on one computer, that preference will be retained when you log in from another computer.
