# Account Settings

### Accessing your settings

Select your profile icon in the top-right corner and then select the gear icon for **Account Settings**. This is where you manage your personal profile, security, and preferences.

### Profile information

#### Name

Your first and last name appear throughout the platform — in project member lists, note attributions, and anywhere your activity is tracked. Use the name your team will recognize.

#### Email

Your email address is your account identifier. It determines:

* Which workspaces you can discover (based on email domain matching)
* Where six-digit sign-in codes are sent
* Where platform notifications are delivered

Email changes may require administrative action to maintain account integrity.

#### Phone number

Adding a phone number enables:

* Two-factor authentication
* Account recovery if you lose email access
* Alternative contact for time-sensitive research coordination

The country code selector supports international numbers.

#### Profile photo

Your photo appears in:

* Project member lists
* Note and comment attributions
* The workspace member directory

Use a clear, recognizable photo. The platform auto-formats it for different display sizes (from small thumbnails to larger profile views).

### Security

#### Sign-in methods

You can sign in using any of these methods:

* Google OAuth
* Microsoft OAuth
* Apple OAuth
* Email six-digit code (passwordless)

All methods work with the same account as long as the email matches. You don't need to choose one — use whichever is most convenient at the time.

#### Password reset

If you use password-based authentication, you can reset your password through the standard email verification flow. The platform also supports fully passwordless operation through six-digit codes if you prefer to avoid passwords entirely.

#### What your settings affect

Your profile information carries across all workspaces and projects you're part of:

* **Changing your name** updates it everywhere immediately
* **Your photo appears** to both team members and participants
* **Notifications** are sent to your registered email address

Keep your information current, especially if you change roles, move to a different email, or update your professional details.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pulselabs.ai/settings/account-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
