# User Settings

## 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

**Note**: If your organization uses [single sign-on (SSO)](https://prismatic.io/docs/configure-prismatic/single-sign-on.md) to authenticate to Prismatic, you will not be able to change your password through Prismatic.

### 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, Prismatic will resize and crop it 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.
