Your Account
Manage your own Muin account: profile and display name, password, the email address you sign in with, and your personal language, theme and notification preferences.
Everything on these screens belongs to you alone. Changing them affects your account, not your organization.
When you’d use this
- You want to see which role you have and which organization you are signed in to.
- Your password needs changing, or you were asked to set a stronger one.
- You are moving to a new work email address and need your sign-in to follow you.
- The interface is in the wrong language, or you want dark mode.
Your account at a glance
- Go to Settings → My Account → Account.
- The top card shows your avatar, name, email and role badge, with the organization you are signed in to.
- Account Information lists your email address (marked Primary), display name, organization and role, with the role described in plain words. Owner, for example, reads “Full access to all features including billing and user management”.
- Quick Actions links straight to Edit Profile, Change email, Change Password, Privacy and Data, and Notifications.
- Appearance holds the light/dark theme toggle.
The Account screen is read-only. Use Edit beside a field, or the matching quick action, to change anything.
Changing your password
- Go to Settings → Security → Password.
- Fill in Current Password, New Password and Confirm New Password. The new password must be at least 8 characters and at most 128.
- Select Change Password. You will see “Password changed successfully!”.
The same screen links out to Two-Factor Authentication and Active Sessions, both of which live in Security Settings.
Moving the email address you sign in with
Your sign-in email is changed in two steps so a typo can never lock you out.
- Go to Settings → My Account → Account and select Change email (the direct route is Settings → Change email).
- Enter New email address and Confirm new email address.
- Enter your Current password. This is required unless you sign in with Google or Apple.
- Select Send confirmation link. Muin replies: “We sent a confirmation link to {address}. Your sign-in email changes once you open that link.”
- Open the link from the new address. The confirmation page reads Email confirmed and “Your sign-in email is now {address}. Sign in with that address from now on.”
Nothing changes until that link is opened. Opening it signs you out everywhere, so sign back in with the new address.
Your personal preferences
- Go to Settings → My Account → Preferences.
- Set Theme under Appearance, your interface Language, and your Date and Time format.
- Email Preferences under Notifications controls which messages reach your inbox.
- Show Advanced Settings reveals the remaining per-user options.
Preferences save as you change them, so there is no Save button.
What it affects
- Your display name and avatar appear anywhere your activity is recorded, including approval trails and audit logs.
- Your language choice changes the interface for you only. Organization-wide languages are set in Languages and Vocabulary.
- A password change ends your other sessions on that device family; a sign-in email change ends every session.
- Theme and date format are stored against your user, so they follow you to any organization you belong to.
When it goes wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| “New passwords do not match” or “New password must be at least 8 characters” | Re-type both new-password fields; the rule is 8 to 128 characters. |
| “Enter a valid email address.” or “The two email addresses do not match.” | Check both email fields character by character; they must be identical. |
| “That is already your sign-in email.” | You are already signed in with that address. Nothing needs changing. |
| “We could not confirm this link” / “This confirmation link is invalid or has expired.” | Request a new confirmation link from Change email; the previous one is dead. |
| “Failed to load preferences. Please try again.” | Reload the page. Your saved preferences are unaffected. |
