A user can update their own email address from the Profile tab within Account Settings.

Password Reset

Logged-in users can change their account password:

  1. Navigate to the Security tab in Account Settings.
  2. Click the edit icon next to the Password field.
  3. Provide your current password and choose a new one.

  3. You will receive an email with instructions to reset your password.

Passkeys

Passkeys are a new, more secure way to log in to websites and apps without using a password. Instead of typing a password, you use a fingerprint, face scan, or a device PIN to authenticate.

Users can manage their passkeys from the Security tab in Account Settings.

  1. To add a new passkey, press the Register Passkey button and give the passkey a name.

If you lose access to all your passkeys and cannot sign in, use the Forgot Password flow to recover your account.
