> **IMPORTANT:** This guide only applies to customers with Fastly accounts or with Signal Sciences accounts that are linked to Fastly accounts. If you only have a Signal Sciences account, check out our information [about the My profile menu](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/account-info/about-the-my-profile-menu) instead.

You can manage your Fastly accounts, your personal profile information, and the security settings on your account, all in the same location.

## Before you begin

Be sure you know how to [access the web interface controls](/guides/getting-started/navigating-fastly/about-the-web-interface-controls) before learning about the details you'll encounter here.

## About profile and security settings

Your account profile and security settings appear on a new tab, outside of the Fastly control panel, when you select **Profile & security** from the [user quick links menu](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/getting-started/navigating-fastly/about-the-user-quick-links-menu) or go to **Account** > [**Profile and security**](https://accounts.fastly.com/profile).

From here, you can:

- manage your [profile information](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/account-info/user-and-account-management/changing-names-and-email-addresses) and do things like change your profile name
- change or reset an [account password](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/account-info/user-and-account-management/changing-and-resetting-passwords)
- manage [two-factor authentication](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/account-info/user-and-account-management/managing-two-factor-authentication)

> **HINT:** If you use both the Fastly and Next-Gen WAF control panels, you can switch between them by clicking one of the links that appears above the your [profile and security settings](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/account-info/user-and-account-management/about-profile-and-security-settings).
