# Change your password

> Open the sign-in details window from your profile to change your password, manage email addresses, and review the security options on your account.

Your password is not stored in TimeTracker. It belongs to your sign-in provider, and you change it in that provider's own window, reached from your profile.

## How to open the sign-in details window

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your profile">
    Click your name and picture at the foot of the sidebar, then choose **Profile**. You land on `/{workspaceSlug}/settings/profile`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Account card">
    On the **Profile** tab, the **Account** card shows your picture and the email address you sign in with.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Manage account">
    The sign-in details window opens on top of the page. Change what you need, then close it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Your name and picture update in TimeTracker as soon as the window makes the change. You do not need to sign out and back in.

## What you can change there

The window covers everything that belongs to your login:

* Your **password**
* Your **name** and **profile photo**
* Your **email addresses**
* **Two-step verification**
* **Connected accounts**, if you sign in through another service
* Your **active devices** and sessions

<Note>
  Exactly which options appear depends on how sign-in is set up for your account. If an option is not there, it is not available to you, and no setting inside TimeTracker will bring it back.
</Note>

## If you signed in with a social or single sign-on account

Some people sign in through another service rather than with a password. If that is you, there may be no password on this account to change at all.

Your sign-in is controlled by that other service. Change the password where that account lives, and the change applies the next time you sign in to TimeTracker.

If you are not sure how you sign in, open the sign-in details window and look at your connected accounts.

## If you cannot sign in at all

You cannot reach your profile while you are signed out. Use the forgot-password path on the sign-in screen instead. The sign-in screen also handles single sign-on and email verification.

If that does not get you back in, see [Contact support](/troubleshooting/contact-support).

## Two things TimeTracker does hold

<Warning>
  Changing your photo with your sign-in provider does nothing if you have uploaded a picture inside TimeTracker. An uploaded picture always wins.

| --------------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Your account photo                | Your sign-in provider | The sign-in details window                                                                  |
| A picture uploaded in TimeTracker | Your member record    | Upload or **Remove** it on **My record**, or click **Use my account photo** on your profile |
| Your account name                 | Your sign-in provider | The sign-in details window                                                                  |
| A display name for one workspace  | Your member record    | Set it on **My record**, or leave it blank to use your account name                         |

When a workspace shows you under a different name, the **Account** card on your profile says so and links to the record where that name is set.

## Example

Tom Whitfield, an Admin at Northwind Studio, wants a stronger password.

He opens the account menu at the foot of the sidebar, clicks **Profile**, and clicks **Manage account** on the **Account** card. In the window that opens he changes his password and turns on two-step verification. He closes the window and carries on working. Nothing else in Northwind Studio changes.

Later he notices his old photo is still showing. That is because he once uploaded a picture inside TimeTracker. He clicks **Use my account photo** on his profile, and his new account photo takes over.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does changing my password sign me out of my other workspaces?">
    Your login is one account across every workspace you belong to. Sign-in and session behaviour is handled by your sign-in provider, and the window shows your active devices.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can an admin change my password for me?">
    No. Nobody in TimeTracker can see or set your password. An admin can switch your access to a workspace off, or remove you from it, but that is not the same thing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I changed my email address. Does my history follow?">
    Yes. Your tracked time, timesheets and approvals belong to your account, not to an address.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where is the delete-account button in that window?">
    Closing your account is done in TimeTracker, not there, because a workspace you own has to be settled first. See [Delete your account](/account/delete-your-account).
  </Accordion>
