# Profile

Your Dewstack profile holds two things you can edit: your **Name** and your password. Everything else about your account – your email address, your plan, your team – is changed somewhere else or not at all.

The Profile page is at `/profile`, reached from the avatar in the bottom-left corner of the dashboard.

## Open your profile

Click the round initials avatar pinned to the bottom-left of the sidebar. The menu that opens upward contains, in order:

*   **Profile**
*   **Support**
*   **Subscription** – only if your role includes the _manage subscription_ permission
*   **Team** – only for the **Owner** of a team on a paid plan
*   **Admin Panel** – Dewstack staff only
*   **Logout**

Everything account-level – profile, subscription, team, support – hangs off this one menu.

Select **Profile**.

## Change your name

The Profile card has a single **Name** field – one combined field, not separate first and last names. Edit it and click **Update**. A green toast confirms with _"Account updated."_

Your name is what other members of your [team](/docs/team-support/manage-team) see, and its first letters are what Dewstack draws in your avatar.

## Change your password

Password change happens inline on the same page, not in a separate dialog.

1.  Open **Profile** from the avatar menu.
2.  Click the **Change Password?** link. Two fields slide open.
3.  Enter the new password under **Password**, then type it again under **Repeat Password**.
4.  Click **Update**.

The only rule is length: _"Password must be at least 8 characters."_ There is no requirement for uppercase letters, digits or symbols. Dewstack does **not** ask for your current password here, so anyone with an open, logged-in session can set a new one.

Your existing session is what authorises the change

Because no current password is required, treat a signed-in Dewstack tab on a shared machine as full account access. Use **Logout** when you step away.

If you have forgotten your password and cannot sign in, use the reset link on the login screen instead – that flow emails you a token and is separate from this page.

The password fields stay hidden until you click Change Password, so a stray keystroke cannot overwrite it.

## What you cannot change here

**Your email address.** There is no email field on the Profile page, and the update endpoint accepts only `name`, `password` and `password_repeat` – so email cannot be changed from the dashboard at all. Your email is set at signup and confirmed by a link Dewstack emails you; login is blocked until you confirm it. If you need an account moved to a different address, contact [support](/docs/account-settings/support) from the address currently on the account.

**Your avatar.** The avatar is generated from the initials of your name – the first letters of the first two words – on a coloured tile. Changing your **Name** is the only way to change it.

**Your account itself.** There is no "Delete account" or "Close account" control anywhere in the dashboard. Cancelling your subscription on the [Subscription page](/docs/account-settings/subscription) stops billing but does not remove the account or its content. To have an account and its workspaces removed, email [support](/docs/account-settings/support) – deletion is handled by the Dewstack team, not from the dashboard. Export anything you want to keep first; see [Export a workspace](/docs/understand-workspaces/export-workspace).

## Log out

**Logout** is the last item in the avatar menu. It ends your session on the server and returns you to the login screen. It logs out this browser only – it does not sign you out of other devices, and there is no "sign out everywhere" control.
