# Update your profile and preferences

Change your name and profile photo, send yourself a password reset link, and choose how the dashboard sounds, moves and looks.

## Step 1: Open your account settings

Click your photo or initial at the top right of the dashboard and choose **My profile**. You can also click **Workspace** in the sidebar, which opens the **Account** page.

The menu on the left jumps to **Profile**, **Sign-in & security**, **API tokens** and **Preferences**.

## Step 2: Change your name

In **Profile**, edit **Full name** and click **Save profile**. Your team sees this name in the members list. Your sign-in email can’t be changed on this page.

## Step 3: Change your profile photo

Click the round photo next to **Profile photo** and choose an image. Use a square image of at least 400 × 400 px. PNG, JPG, WEBP and GIF files up to 2 MB work.

The **Update profile photo** window shows a preview with the image’s size and format. A warning appears if the image is small or not square; a non-square image is cropped from the center.

Click **Save photo**, or **Choose another** to pick a different file. The new photo replaces the old one everywhere in Nuvlo and is visible to your team.

## Step 4: Change your password

In **Sign-in & security**, click **Send reset link** next to **Password**. Nuvlo emails a link to your sign-in address. Open it and choose a new password.

> **Warning:** A new password revokes all your API tokens and AI agent keys. Scripts and agents that use them stop working until you create new ones.

In the same card you can turn on two-factor sign-in. See [Two-factor authentication](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/two-factor-authentication).

## Step 5: Choose your preferences

In **Preferences**, switch these on or off:

- **Interface sounds**: soft sounds for everyday actions, and distinct ones for success, warnings and errors.
- **Haptic feedback**: vibration on supported mobile devices.
- **Reduce motion**: keeps interactions immediate. Nuvlo also follows your system’s reduced motion setting.

To switch between the light and dark theme, use the sun and moon buttons at the bottom of the sidebar.

Preferences and the theme are saved in this browser only, so set them again on each device you use.
