Your Profile Settings

Your profile contains your personal information, avatar, password, and notification preferences. These settings are personal — changes here only affect your own account, not other team members.

Opening your profile​

  1. Click your avatar or initials in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.
  2. Select Profile from the dropdown menu.

Or go to Settings → Profile.

Updating your name and display settings​

  1. On the Profile page, find the Personal Information section.
  2. Update your full name or display name.
  3. Click Save Changes.

Your display name appears on task cards, comments, assignee lists, and notifications.

Updating your avatar​

A profile photo helps your teammates recognize you in comments and on the Kanban board.

  1. On the Profile page, click on your current avatar (or the placeholder if you have not set one).
  2. Click Upload Photo.
  3. Select an image from your computer. Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF. Maximum size: 5 MB.
  4. A crop tool appears. Drag and resize the crop area to frame your photo.
  5. Click Save Avatar.

Your new avatar appears immediately throughout Varai Sprints.

Removing your avatar​

  1. Click your avatar on the Profile page.
  2. Click Remove Photo.
  3. Your avatar reverts to your initials.

Changing your email address​

  1. Under Personal Information, click Change Email.
  2. Enter your new email address.
  3. Enter your current password to confirm.
  4. Click Send Verification Email.
  5. Check your inbox and click the verification link.

Your email address is updated once you verify the new address.

Email is your login

Your email address is also your login identifier. After changing it, use the new email address to sign in.

Changing your password​

  1. On the Profile page, click the Security tab.
  2. Click Change Password.
  3. Enter your current password.
  4. Enter a new password.
  5. Confirm the new password.
  6. Click Update Password.

Password requirements:

  • At least 8 characters
  • At least one uppercase letter
  • At least one lowercase letter
  • At least one number
  • At least one special character (e.g., !, @, #)
Password strength

A stronger password uses a mix of words, numbers, and symbols. Avoid common patterns like Password123! — use a password manager to generate a strong random password.

Notification preferences​

Control which events trigger notifications and how you receive them.

In-app notifications​

In-app notifications appear in the bell icon (🔔) in the top navigation bar.

Toggle each event on or off using the switches on the Profile → Notifications tab.

Email notifications​

Email notifications deliver the same events via email.

If you are receiving too many emails, start by turning off "Comment on a task you are assigned to" and "Task status changed". These are high-volume events that can be easily checked in-app.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)​

To add an extra layer of security to your account:

  1. Go to Security tab on your Profile page.
  2. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
  3. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.).
  4. Enter the 6-digit code from your app.
  5. Click Verify and Enable.

Save your recovery codes in a safe place — they are shown only once.

Active sessions​

The Security tab shows all active login sessions for your account:

  • Device type (desktop, mobile)
  • Browser
  • Location (approximate, based on IP)
  • Last active time

To sign out of a specific session:

  1. Click Revoke next to the session.

To sign out of all sessions at once:
