What is your profile?

Your profile contains your personal account settings in Indicate. You can update your display name, change your password, and manage two-factor authentication. Profile settings apply to your account across all spaces you are a member of.

How to update your name

1. Open Settings by clicking the gear icon in the bottom-left corner.

2. Click Profile under the Account section in the sidebar.

3. In the Name section, enter or change your First name and Last name.

4. Click Save.

How to change your password

1. Open Settings by clicking the gear icon in the bottom-left corner.

2. Click Profile under the Account section in the sidebar.

3. In the Password section, click Change password.

4. Enter your current password, then your new password.

5. Click Change password to confirm.

How to manage two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification step to your sign-in, on top of your password. Indicate uses time-based one-time codes (TOTP) generated by an authenticator app such as 1Password, Authy, Google Authenticator, or Microsoft Authenticator.

Enable 2FA

1. Open Settings by clicking the gear icon in the bottom-left corner.

2. Click Profile under the Account section in the sidebar.

3. Scroll down to the Two-factor authentication section and click Enable 2FA.

4. Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code shown on screen. If you can't scan it (for example on a desktop without a camera), click Can't scan? Enter this key manually and paste the key into your app.

5. Click I've scanned the code to continue.

6. Enter the 6-digit verification code from your authenticator app to confirm the setup.

7. Save your backup codes. Use Copy codes or Download .txt to store them somewhere safe, a password manager is ideal. You'll need these codes to sign in if you ever lose access to your authenticator app.

8. Click I've saved my codes to finish.

Don't skip the backup codes. Each backup code can be used once and replaces the 6-digit code from your authenticator app. If you lose your phone or your authenticator app is wiped, the backup codes are the only way back into your account without contacting support.

Disable 2FA

1. Go to Settings → Profile and scroll to the Two-factor authentication section.

2. Click Disable 2FA.

3. Confirm the action when prompted.

We recommend keeping 2FA enabled at all times. If your workspace is on a plan that enforces 2FA, you won't be able to disable it.

Regenerate backup codes

If you've used several of your backup codes, lost them, or suspect they're no longer safe, generate a fresh set:

1. Go to Settings → Profile and scroll to the Two-factor authentication section.

2. Click Regenerate backup codes.

3. Save the new codes immediately. The previous set is invalidated as soon as new codes are generated.
