{{>toc}}

h2. My account

This screen lets you edit your account settings: lastname, firstname, email address, language.

h3. Mail notifications

If *Mail notifications* is checked, you will receive notifications about any event that occurs on the projects you belong to (issue added or edited, new document,...).

If it's unchecked, you will only receive notifications about the issues you're involved in (author or assignee) and about things you watch (eg. issues, forums).

h3. Password

To change your password, type your old password and your new password twice. Password length must be 8 characters or more (the admin can change the minimum length. See [[RedmineSettings#Minimum-password-length]]).

If your account uses an external authentication mean (LDAP), you can't change your password in Redmine.

h2. Password lost

If you forget your password, this procedure lets you choose a new one.

On the [[RedmineLogin|login screen]], click on *Lost password*. Enter your email address and submit the form. An email is then sent to you. It contains a link that allows you to change your password.

Note that this functionality can be disabled by the administrator (see [[RedmineSettings#Lost-password]]). Also, if your account uses an external authentication mean (LDAP), this procedure isn't available.

To activate your account, use the link that is contained in this email.
