# Manage Your Mintlify Profile and Preferences

> Update your name, email, avatar, and password in Mintlify. Control notification preferences and keep your account secure with email verification.

Your Mintlify profile controls how you appear to teammates and how the product communicates with you. Keep it current so invites, mentions, and billing notices reach the right inbox.

## Update your profile information

1. Open the **Account** menu in the top-right corner of the dashboard and choose **Profile**.
2. Edit your **Display name** and **Email address**.
3. Click **Upload avatar** to add a profile image. Square images under 2 MB work best.
4. Press **Save changes**.

Your updated name and avatar appear immediately across all workspaces and comments.

<Note>
  If you change your email address, Mintlify sends a verification link to the new inbox. Some notifications are paused until you confirm the address.
</Note>

## Change your password

1. In **Profile**, scroll to the **Security** section.
2. Enter your current password, then type a new password twice.
3. Click **Update password**.

For security, Mintlify requires at least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.

## Set notification preferences

Control which events trigger emails or in-app alerts.

1. Go to **Profile** > **Notifications**.
2. Toggle channels for each event type:
   * **Team invites** — when someone adds you to a workspace
   * **Project updates** — when a project you follow is published or changed
   * **Billing alerts** — upcoming charges, failed payments, or plan changes
   * **Product announcements** — new features and scheduled maintenance
3. Click **Save preferences**.

<Tip>
  Keep billing alerts enabled even if you mute other channels. They help you avoid unexpected service interruptions.
