Your profile, login security, business info, and localization settings all live on the **Account** tab at `/account`. A separate **Appearance** tab controls the dashboard's theme. Both are reachable from the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Scanova Account tab showing a profile card with avatar initials, profile type, industry, language, time zone, and member-since date, plus Profile, Login and Security, Business, and Localization sections with editable fields for full name, email address, password, multi-factor authentication, profile type, industry, language, and time zone The card on the left summarizes your profile type, industry, language, time zone, and the date you joined ("Member since"), plus a **Delete account** link. The panel on the right is where you make changes. Your avatar shows your initials in a colored circle (for example "DO" for a user named "Docs") — there's no photo upload option. ## Updating your name Click the pencil icon next to **Full Name** to edit it inline. The field becomes editable with a checkmark to save and an X to cancel. Full Name field in edit mode with a text input and checkmark/cancel buttons ## Changing your email Click the pencil icon next to **Email Address** to open the **Change Email** drawer. The drawer shows your current email (read-only) and a **New email** field. Enter the address you want to switch to. Change Email drawer with Current email (read-only), New email input, Current Password input, a link to learn how changing email affects your account, and a Proceed button Enter your current password in the **Current Password** field, then click **Proceed**. Scanova sends a 6-digit verification code to your new email address. Enter it to complete the change. Changing your email signs you out — you'll need to log back in with the new address. Newsletter subscriptions continue on your previous email, as the drawer notes. If you signed up with Google or another SSO provider, the email field isn't editable — your email is managed by that identity provider instead. ## Password and multi-factor authentication The **Login & Security** section shows your password as a masked value and your MFA status as **Off** or **On · \{method}**. Click either pencil icon to open the corresponding drawer: * **Password** opens **Change Password**, which asks for your current password plus a new password (8–200 characters) and confirmation. * **Multi-factor authentication** opens a method picker for **Email**, **Authenticator App**, or **Passkey**. Change Password drawer with Current Password, New Password, and Confirm Password fields, and a note that you'll be required to log in again once the password is changed Choose authentication method panel offering Email (one-time code), Authenticator App (TOTP), and Passkey (device fingerprint, face, or screen lock) as MFA options For the full setup walkthrough for each method, see [Multi-factor authentication](/authentication/multi-factor-authentication). For resetting a forgotten password, see [Password reset](/authentication/password-reset). ## Business info The **Business** section records your profile type and industry — used to tailor recommendations, not to gate features. Click either pencil icon to open the **Edit profile** drawer. Edit profile drawer with a Profile type selector (Individual, Small Business, Enterprise) and a Choose your industry dropdown **Profile type** is one of: * **Individual** — personal use * **Small Business** — teams & startups * **Enterprise** — large orgs **Industry** is a dropdown that depends on the profile type you pick — for **Individual**, the options are **Consultant**, **Freelance**, **Student**, and **Other**. Industry dropdown open showing Consultant, Freelance, Student, and Other options Click **Save changes** to apply. ## Localization The **Localization** section controls the language and time zone Scanova uses for you. Click either pencil icon under **Language** or **Time Zone** to open the **Edit localization** drawer. Edit localization drawer with a Language dropdown set to English (EN) and a Time zone dropdown set to IST - India Standard Time (+05:30) * **Language** — English, Español, Français, or Deutsch. * **Time zone** — a fixed list of roughly two dozen zones (from Samoa through New Zealand), each labeled with its UTC offset, e.g. **IST - India Standard Time (+05:30)**. Click **Save changes** to apply — the change takes effect immediately across the dashboard. ## Appearance tab The **Appearance** tab (`/account/appearance`) is separate from the Account tab and controls only the dashboard's visual theme. Appearance tab showing a Theme section with three selectable preview cards: Light, Dark, and System, and an Update preferences button Pick **Light**, **Dark**, or **System** (which follows your OS setting) — the change previews immediately. Click **Update preferences** to persist your choice to your account, so it carries across devices and sessions. The moon/sun icon in the top bar toggles between light and dark instantly for the current session, without opening this tab — use the Appearance tab when you want the choice saved to your account, or to pick **System**. ## Deleting your account **Delete account**, in red at the bottom of the profile card, starts a multi-step flow: a required reason for leaving, a retention screen tailored to that reason (discounts, support contact, or feature reminders), and a final confirmation step requiring your password (or Google re-authentication) plus an acknowledgement checkbox. Deletion is immediate once confirmed and can't be undone. ## Related * [Multi-factor authentication](/authentication/multi-factor-authentication) — the full setup walkthrough for the Manage MFA drawer opened from this page's Login & Security section. * [Email preferences](/account/email-preferences) — the sibling Account tab controlling which transactional and marketing emails you receive. * [Password reset](/authentication/password-reset) — recovering access if you've forgotten the password managed in Login & Security.
