Overview

The Profile page gathers your personal details and the security of your user account. It is different from the Account settings (company administration, agents and teams): here you adjust only what belongs to you.

In one place you can:

  • Update your name, photo, interface language and font size.
  • Set your message signature.
  • Change your password.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA/MFA) with an authenticator app.
  • Review and end sessions open on other devices.
  • Generate and regenerate your personal API token.
  • Adjust sound alerts and notification preferences.

Prerequisites

  • Be signed in with your user (every option is per agent and does not affect the team).
  • For 2FA: have an authenticator app (TOTP) installed on your phone β€” for example Google Authenticator, Authy or 1Password.
  • Some options may be hidden when the operator locks profile editing (installs with managed login/SSO). In that case, talk to your administrator.

Step by step

  1. Open your user menu and go to Profile.
  2. In basic details, adjust name, display name and email; upload or remove the photo. Changing the email ends your session for security β€” you will sign in again.
  3. In interface, choose the language and the font size.
  4. In message signature, write the text appended to your replies and save.
  5. In password, enter your current password, set the new one (at least 6 characters) and confirm it.
  6. In security (2FA), enable two-factor authentication (see the section below).
  7. In active sessions, review the devices and end any you do not recognize.
  8. In access token, copy or regenerate your personal API token.

Settings & options

Profile details

  • Name / display name / email and photo. The display name is what appears in conversations.

Language and font

  • Interface language: changes only for your user.
  • Font size: tunes how the dashboard reads.

Message signature

  • A rich-text editor appended to your replies.
  • Pasted images inside the signature are removed on save (the platform warns you) β€” use text and formatting.

Password

  • Requires your current password to confirm the change.
  • New password with at least 6 characters; the confirmation must match.

Two-factor authentication (2FA/MFA)

  • Adds a temporary code (from the authenticator app) on top of your password at sign-in.
  • Enable: the platform shows a QR Code; scan it in your authenticator app (or use the manual entry option with the secret key), type the 6-digit code and confirm.
  • Recovery codes: once finished, the platform shows a list of codes β€” download them as a .txt file or copy and store them safely. Each code works once and is used when you do not have the app at hand.
  • Regenerate codes: creates a new list (invalidating the previous one) and requires a valid code.
  • Disable: requires your password and a valid code (from the app or a recovery code).
  • 2FA may not appear if the operator did not enable the feature on the install.

Active sessions

  • Lists each session with device, browser, approximate location and last activity.
  • The current session is flagged and cannot be ended from this list.
  • Ending a session disconnects that device immediately.

API access token

  • A personal token to use the API on your behalf.
  • Copy (with show/hide) and Regenerate.
  • When you regenerate, the previous token stops working immediately β€” update wherever it is used.
  • API usage details live under Integrations.

Sound alerts

  • Audio preferences for notifications. The remaining notification options are in the Notifications article.

Use cases

  • Protect the account: enable 2FA and keep the recovery codes.
  • Lost my phone: end the open sessions and change the password.
  • A token leaked: regenerate the access token to invalidate the old one.
  • Standardize support: set a consistent message signature.

Tips, limits & best practices

  • Enable 2FA whenever possible β€” it is the most effective protection against unauthorized access.
  • Keep the recovery codes off your phone (password manager, vault).
  • Treat the API token like a password: never share it or put it in public code.
  • Review active sessions from time to time and end anything you do not recognize.
  • Remember: changing the email ends your current session.

Troubleshooting

  • Lost my 2FA app: sign in with a recovery code; then, on the security page, regenerate the codes or disable and re-enable 2FA.
  • I don't see the 2FA section: the feature may not be enabled by the operator on your install.
  • I can't change the password: confirm the current password, use 6+ characters and check that the confirmation matches. If the password fields are missing, profile editing may be locked by the administrator.
  • Token leaked or stopped working: regenerate the token and update the integrations using it.
  • I don't recognize a session: end that session and then change the password.
