# Account Settings

This is where you manage your personal profile, photo, password, and how the dashboard looks. It has nothing to do with your assignments or license — your department handles all of that.

**How to get there:**

* Sidebar → **Account Settings**
* Or click your profile avatar in the top bar → **My Account**

***

#### Profile

This is where you update your basic personal details.

| Field      | What you can do                               |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**   | Update your display name                      |
| **Age**    | Use the − and + buttons or type a number      |
| **Gender** | Choose Male, Female, Other, or leave it unset |

Click **Save Profile** when you're done. You'll see a confirmation message straight away.

Your email and username can't be changed from here — speak to your professor or department admin if those need updating.

***

#### Photos

<figure><img src="/files/ERUrNkKlD7YWMkn7WHMy" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is where you manage your profile photo — the picture that appears next to your name across the dashboard.

* Click **Change** to upload a new photo
* Click **Remove** to take it down (you'll be asked to confirm)

**Accepted formats:** JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WebP **Maximum size:** 5 MB

***

#### Languages

<figure><img src="/files/CPunNq9hSfFAGKvVU9MV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This tab shows the game simulator languages set up for your account. It is view only — you can't change these yourself.

You'll see:

* Your default play language
* An additional language if one has been set
* A list of other languages the game is available in

If you need your game language changed, speak to your professor or department admin.

Note: This is separate from the dashboard interface language, which you can change any time from the **Language** button in the top bar.

***

#### Security

<figure><img src="/files/plSmXGdu4H9o7fAMRYgo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Changing your password**

1. Enter your current password
2. Enter your new password (at least 8 characters)
3. Enter it again to confirm
4. Click **Update Password**

If something's wrong, you'll see a message explaining what needs fixing.

***

#### Profiles & Roles

<figure><img src="/files/p76FM3f0CUiI2F2R2u0y" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This tab shows your university and your role (Student). Most students have just one profile linked to their institution and won't need to do anything here.

This is not where you join a class — for that, your professor adds you to assignments directly.

***

#### Appearance

<figure><img src="/files/sgiIH9t3T1e9cXbnxyGf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is where you personalise how the dashboard looks. Changes apply straight away and are remembered in your browser.

**Accent colour** Choose from six colours — blue, violet, cyan, green, amber, or red. This updates buttons, highlights, and accents across the whole dashboard.

**Theme** Switch between **Light** and **Dark** mode depending on your preference. You can also toggle this quickly from the profile menu in the top bar without opening Account Settings.

***

#### Replay the dashboard tour

At the bottom of the Account Settings left navigation, click **Replay Dashboard Tour** to restart the introduction walkthrough. Useful if you want a refresher or skipped it the first time.

***
