# Managing your account settings

Your DistantRace **account settings** cover login details, profile data, and security — separate from [saved participant profiles](managing-saved-participant-profiles.md) you use at checkout.

**Path:** Log in → Profile / **Account** (`/accounts/`)

## Edit profile

**Profile** (`/accounts/profile/`) — update your connected participant:

- First and last name
- Birth date and gender
- Phone and address fields
- Profile photo (upload JPG or PNG)

Email on this form follows your account login address — change it under **Email** (below).

## Change email

**Email** (`/accounts/email/`):

1. Add a new address if needed
2. Verify via the confirmation link DistantRace sends
3. Set the verified address as **primary**

Your participant profile email updates when the primary login email changes.

## Change password

**Password** (`/accounts/password/change/`) — set a new password when you signed up with email and password.

Social-only accounts may use **Set password** first (`/accounts/password/set/`) to add a password alongside Google or Apple login.

## Connections (sports apps)

**Connections** (`/accounts/social/`) — connect or disconnect Garmin, Polar, Fitbit, and other [supported apps](../connections-with-apps/supported-apps.md).

See [Supported apps](../connections-with-apps/supported-apps.md) for setup guides and [Resolving duplicate social accounts](resolving-duplicate-social-accounts.md) if login conflicts appear.

## Security

| Setting | Path |
|---------|------|
| **Two-factor authentication** | `/accounts/2fa/` — [Two-factor authentication](two-factor-authentication.md) |
| **Passkey** | Account security — [Sign-in options](sign-in-options.md) |
| **Notifications** | `/accounts/notifications/` — [Notification preferences](notification-preferences.md) |
| **Daily steps** | `/accounts/daily_stats/` — [Daily steps on the website](daily-steps-on-the-website.md) |

Organizers need 2FA enabled for [manager console](../running-events/access-the-organizer-console.md) access.

## Delete account

**Delete account** (`/accounts/profile/delete/`) permanently removes your login. Read [Delete your account](delete-your-account.md) for prerequisites (withdraw from active events, unpaid carts).
