On this page
Your name, email address, password and profile photo all live in one place: the Profile dialog in your dashboard. Changes to the email address and password are confirmed by email, so you always know when something on your account moves.
Open your profile
- Log in to your dashboard.
- Click your avatar (your photo or initials) in the sidebar or top bar.
- Choose Profile.
The dialog has three cards: Account, Password and Notifications. Email notifications are covered in Email notifications.
Change your name or email address
- In the Account card, edit Name or Email.
- Click Save changes.
Your name is shown in the dashboard and in the emails we send you. It is not shown on your site unless you type it into a page.
When you change the email address, a few things happen at once:
- Both the old and the new address receive a message titled The email address on your FolioPage account changed. If you did not make the change, the message at your old address is your cue to reset your password right away.
- The new address receives a fresh Confirm your email address message. Until you click the link, you cannot publish a site. Sites that are already live stay live, and the rest of the dashboard works as normal. See Verify your email address.
- You log in with the new address from now on.
Note: Each email address can belong to one FolioPage account. If the address is already in use, the form tells you so and nothing is changed.
Change your password
- In the Password card, enter your Current password.
- Enter a New password of at least 8 characters, then repeat it under Confirm new password.
- Click Update password.
We send a confirmation titled Your FolioPage password was changed to your email address. You stay logged in on this browser.
If you do not remember your current password, log out and use the link on the login page instead. See Reset a forgotten password.
Accounts created with Google
If you signed up with Continue with Google, your account has no password yet, and the card is called Set a password instead. There is no current password to enter: choose a New password, confirm it and click Set password. From then on you can log in either with Google or with your email and password. See Sign in with Google.
Add or change your profile photo
The photo appears on your avatar in the dashboard. It is not used anywhere on your site.
- In the Account card, click Upload photo (or Change photo if you already have one).
- Pick a JPG, PNG or WebP file up to 2 MB.
The image is cropped to a square around its centre, so choose a picture where the subject sits in the middle. To go back to your initials, click Remove.
