# Your profile (/docs/settings/profile)

Your profile is how you appear to your team: your name and title show next to the replies you send and the drafts you approve. It also holds your time zone and the email you log in with.

- **Who can use it:** Everyone, for their own profile. Nobody can change someone else's profile.
- **Before you start:** To change your login email, you need access to the inbox of the new address.

## Edit your details [#edit-your-details]

<Steps>
<Step>

### Open your profile [#open-your-profile]

Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and choose **Profile**. The **Your details** panel lists your avatar, name, job title and time zone.

</Step>
<Step>

### Pick an avatar [#pick-an-avatar]

Mokanata draws your avatar at random. Click **Shuffle avatar** until you see one you like. Until you shuffle, your avatar is drawn from your name, so it changes when you rename yourself.

</Step>
<Step>

### Change your name and job title [#change-your-name-and-job-title]

Edit **Name** (your full name, 2 to 80 characters) and **Job title** (optional, up to 80 characters). Your job title shows under your name in the sidebar.

As soon as something differs from what's saved, a bar at the bottom of the page counts your changes.

</Step>
<Step>

### Set your time zone [#set-your-time-zone]

Click **Time zone** and type a city or region, such as "new york", then pick the time zone from the list. The help under it shows the time there now.

Your [quiet hours](/docs/settings/notifications#set-quiet-hours) and [weekly digest](/docs/settings/notifications#choose-when-the-weekly-digest-arrives) settings follow your time zone, and so do the times Mokanata shows you.

</Step>
<Step>

### Save [#save]

Click **Save changes** (or press <kbd>Enter</kbd> in a field). You see **Profile saved**, and your teammates see your new name and avatar everywhere. To undo your edits instead, click **Discard**.

If you go to another page before saving, Mokanata asks **Discard unsaved changes?**. Choose **Keep editing** to stay, or **Discard and leave**.

</Step>
</Steps>

## Change your login email [#change-your-login-email]

Mokanata switches your login email only once you open a confirmation link sent to the new address, so a typo can't lock you out.

<Steps>
<Step>

### Enter the new address [#enter-the-new-address]

In the **Email** panel, your login email shows with **Confirmed** once it's verified (and **Google sign-in** if you also log in with Google). Click **Change email**, type the address in **New email** and click **Send confirmation link**.

</Step>
<Step>

### Open the link in your email [#open-the-link-in-your-email]

Mokanata sends **Confirm your new Mokanata email** to the new address. Until you open it, the panel says **Confirm the link we sent to** the new address, and you keep logging in with the old one. The link works for 24 hours.

- Didn't get it? Click **Resend link**. A new link replaces the old one, and you see **New link sent**. You can send one every 30 seconds; until then the button counts down.
- Changed your mind? Click the **⋯** menu and choose **Cancel change**. You keep your current email.

</Step>
<Step>

### Log in with the new email [#log-in-with-the-new-email]

Click **Confirm new email** in the email. Mokanata opens your profile and shows **Email updated**: from now on you log in with the new address.

![The Email panel showing the new login email, with the Email updated message: You now sign in with mara.delgado@northwind.dev](/screenshots/profile/07-email-updated.webp)

</Step>
</Steps>

<Callout title="Your passkeys and authenticator stay the same">
Changing your email doesn't change your passkeys or authenticator app, or sign you out of any device. Sign-in links now go to the new address.
</Callout>

## Troubleshooting [#troubleshooting]

<Accordions type="single">
<Accordion title="Another account already uses this email">
Each email can belong to only one Mokanata account. Use a different address, or delete the other account first (see [Delete your account](/docs/settings/danger-zone#delete-your-account)).
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="That's already your email">
The address you typed is the one you log in with now. Type the new address, or click **Cancel**.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="The confirmation link says it doesn't work or has expired">
Links work once, for 24 hours, and a newer link replaces older ones. Go back to **Profile** and click **Resend link** to get a fresh one.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Pick a time zone from the list">
The time zone has to be one from the list. Type part of a city or region name, such as "Lisbon", and click a result. If the list says **No time zone matches**, try a bigger city nearby in the same time zone.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Your profile wasn't saved">
Mokanata couldn't save the change, for example because the connection dropped. Click **Retry** in the message, or **Save changes** again.
</Accordion>
</Accordions>
