# Flowtask Profile Settings: Name, Photo, and Password

> Update your display name, upload a profile photo, set or change your password, and connect or disconnect your Google account in Flowtask.

Your Flowtask profile controls how you appear to yourself and your team, and how you sign in. From profile settings you can update your display name, change your avatar, manage your password, and connect or disconnect your Google account.

## Editing your display name

Your display name appears throughout Flowtask — in task assignments, comments, and the sidebar header.

## Uploading a profile photo

A profile photo helps teammates recognize you at a glance. Flowtask accepts JPG and PNG files.

    Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar and select **Profile settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click your current avatar">
    Click the avatar image or placeholder at the top of the profile form. A file picker will open.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the photo">
    Confirm the selection. Your new photo is uploaded and displayed immediately across Flowtask.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Changing your password

If you signed up with an email address and password, you can update your password at any time from the Security section of your profile.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Profile settings">
    Click your avatar in the sidebar footer and select **Profile settings**.

    Type and confirm your new password in the provided fields, then click **Update password**.
  </Step>

## Adding a password

If you originally signed up using Google, your account does not have a password by default. You can add one to enable email/password login alongside your Google account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Profile settings">
    Click your avatar in the sidebar footer and select **Profile settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Security">
    Scroll to the **Security** section. You will see an **Add password** option instead of a current-password prompt.

    Enter and confirm your chosen password, then click **Add password**. You can now sign in with either your email/password or Google.
  </Step>
</Steps>
