## Change Your Display Name

1. Click **Edit** on your profile.
2. Enter your **Display name**.
3. Click **Save changes**.

Your team sees this name on your activity, including comments and assignments.

## Change Your Email Address

1. Open **Edit profile**.
2. Enter the new **Email address**.
3. Click **Save changes**.
4. Follow the verification links sent to your current and new email addresses.

You need access to both email addresses

The change requires verification on both addresses. Keep access to your current inbox until you have completed the change. Your profile email is used for sign-in and email notifications.

## Change Your Avatar

1. Open **Edit profile** and choose an image in the avatar uploader.
2. Adjust the crop.
3. Click **Save photo**.

You can upload a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF file up to 10 MB. Maeve saves the avatar as a square image at 512 pixels.

## Reset Your Password

1. On your profile, find **Security**.
2. Click **Reset password**.
3. Open the email sent to your current address and follow the reset link.

Use this process whether you have forgotten your password or want to change it.

## Choose Light or Dark Mode

Open **Settings > Appearance** under **Personal** and select a theme:

| Theme  | Appearance                                           |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Light  | Use light mode                                       |
| Dark   | Use dark mode                                        |
| System | Follow your operating system's light or dark setting |

The change applies immediately and is saved in your browser. It applies across workspaces in that browser and does not change your teammates' theme. Choose it separately if you use another browser or device.

## Delete your account

Transfer shared organizations first

If you own an organization with other members, account deletion is blocked. Transfer ownership in [Organization Settings](https://maevesocial.com/guides/account-and-team/organization-settings) before deleting your account.

1. Open your profile settings and click **Delete my account**.
2. Wait for the subscription check to finish and read any warnings.
3. Enter your email address in the confirmation field.
4. Click **Delete my account**.

Account deletion is permanent. Organizations where you are the Owner and only member are deleted with your account. Your account deletion does not delete organizations owned by someone else.

A web subscription for an organisation deleted with your account is cancelled as part of deletion. If cancellation fails, deletion is blocked until the billing issue is resolved.

Cancel App Store subscriptions separately

Deleting your Maeve Social account does not cancel an App Store subscription. Cancel through Apple before deleting your account. The dialog links to **Manage App Store subscriptions** if an active subscription is found.

Content you contributed to organisations owned by someone else may remain, along with certain billing, security and other records. See [Delete your account](https://maevesocial.com/account-deletion) and the [Privacy Policy](https://maevesocial.com/privacy) for details.

## Questions

### Are profile settings per workspace?

Your name, email, and avatar apply across your workspaces. Your appearance preference is saved separately in each browser.

### How do I change my email address?

Open Edit profile, enter the new email, and click Save changes. Follow the verification links sent to both your current and new addresses.

### What image can I use for an avatar?

Use a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF file up to 10 MB. Crop the image and confirm it. The saved avatar is square at 512 pixels.

### How do I change my password?

Click Reset password under Security on your profile, then follow the link emailed to your current address.

### Does dark mode apply to my whole team?

No. The theme applies in your browser and does not change anyone else's appearance setting.

### Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?

A web subscription for an organisation deleted with your account is cancelled as part of deletion. App-store subscriptions must be cancelled separately through the store.

### What if I own an organization other people are in?

Transfer ownership first. Maeve blocks account deletion while you own an organization with other members.
