Open **Settings** for account-level changes. Do not try to edit account information from a community's member card.

## Profile and account

Choose **Profile → Profile** to review your avatar, first and last name, profile URL, bio, location, time zone, links, and community-membership visibility. Save only the information you intend other members to see.

Choose **Profile → Account** for sign-in identity and account-level actions. Name or identity changes can be limited after verification, so review them carefully.

## Privacy

Choose **Privacy → Privacy** to control supported activity visibility and review blocked users.

- **Show my online status** controls whether supported surfaces can show that you are active.
- **Blocked users** lists accounts you blocked and lets you review that decision.
- Community-membership visibility remains under Profile because it affects what your public profile shows.

## Security and two-factor authentication

Choose **Privacy → Security**. Use the available password, session, or two-factor authentication controls to protect the account.

When two-factor setup is offered, follow the authenticator-app steps, verify the code in the secure form, and store recovery information somewhere only you control. Never send an authenticator code, password, reset link, or recovery code to a community admin, member, or tutor.

If you suspect unauthorized access, change the password from a trusted device, review active security controls, and contact platform support.
