## Update your username

Each username must be unique across the system.

1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select **Account**.
2. In the **Username** field, enter your new username.
3. Click **Save**.

If the username you entered is already taken, Telegraf Controller displays an
error. Choose a different username and try again.

## Update your email address

Each email address must be unique and in a valid format.

1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select **Account**.
2. In the **Email** field, enter your new email address.
3. Click **Save**.

If the email address is already associated with another account or is not in a
valid format, Telegraf Controller displays an error.
Correct the email address and try again.

## Update your password

To change your password, you must provide your current password along with the
new one.

1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select **Account**.
2. In the **Current Password** field, enter your existing password.
3. In the **New Password** field, enter your new password.
4. In the **Confirm Password** field, re-enter the new password.
