The **Access** tab shows you the roles that have been assigned to you, either directly or because you are part of a team. To learn more, read [Roles](/home/account/roles).

## Change your display name and email address

You can change your display name or email address from your profile. Here's how:

1. Navigate to your profile.
2. In the "My profile" section, type in the **First name**, **Last name**, and/or **Email address** fields to change them.
3. Click **Update my info**.Your changes are confirmed. Test them by logging out and logging back in with your updated email address. If you changed your name, your new display name appears after you log in.

<Warning title="Email addresses are case sensitive">
  When you update your email address, the address is case sensitive. Future attempts to log in with that email address will fail if you use different casing.

  For example, if you sign up as `example@your-work-email.com` and later log in as `EXAMPLE@Your-Work-Email.com`, the login attempt will fail.
</Warning>

<Warning title="You cannot change your email address while single sign-on (SSO) is enabled">
  When SAML SSO or SCIM is enabled for the account, account members are managed in the identity provider (IdP), and not from the profile page. This means you cannot change your email address or other member information.

  To learn how to manage account members in the IdP, read [User provisioning with SAML](/home/account/saml#user-provisioning-with-saml). For additional information on updating members to a new email domain, read [How to update email addresses when switching to a new domain](https://support.launchdarkly.com/hc/en-us/articles/28868224354587-How-to-update-email-addresses-when-switching-to-a-new-domain).
</Warning>

<Note title="Email addresses are static when using GitHub OAuth">
  If you have created your account using GitHub OAuth, you cannot change your email address. To learn more, read [GitHub OAuth](/home/account/oauth-github).
</Note>

## Change your password

You can set your LaunchDarkly password from your profile, in the "My password" section. You must have your current password to reset your password while logged in. If you sign in to LaunchDarkly through an SSO provider, such as Okta, Google, or your organization's SSO, you can reset your password through that provider. To learn more, read [Single sign-on](/home/account/sso).

New LaunchDarkly passwords must have:

* at least eight characters, and *at least three of the four* following items
* one uppercase letter,
* one lowercase letter,
* one number, or

3. In the "My password" section, enter your password in the **Current password** field.

5. Re-enter the password identically in the **Confirm new password** field.
6. Click **Update my password**.Your password is confirmed. You can test it by logging out and logging back in with the new password.

You can also reset your password by following this procedure. To learn more about why you may need to reset your password, read [Resetting your password](/home/account/reset-password).

## Enable multi-factor authentication

MFA is a security practice that requires someone to verify their identity through multiple methods before they can access an account. LaunchDarkly supports MFA. Individual members can enable or disable MFA from their profile.

<Warning title="You may be required to use MFA">
  LaunchDarkly account admins and owners can force all account members to use MFA. If MFA is enabled project-wide, you will not have the option to enable or disable MFA from your member profile.
</Warning>

To learn how to enable MFA from your profile, read [Multi-factor authentication](/home/account/mfa).
