What this page is for

This page holds your own security settings: your password and two-step verification. Changes here affect only you, in every organisation you belong to.

Who can use it

Every signed-in person, for their own account. Nobody can open another person's security page.

How to change your password

  1. Enter your current password.
  2. Enter a new password and type it again.
  3. Select Change password.

How to turn on two-step verification

  1. Install an authenticator app on your phone if you don't have one (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password and others work).
  2. Select Turn on two-step verification. You may be asked for your password first.
  3. Scan the QR code with the app.
  4. Type the 6-digit code the app shows and select Confirm and turn on.
  5. Save your recovery codes somewhere safe, such as a password manager. They are your way in if you lose your phone, and they are shown only once.
