# Account Settings and Password

The Settings page shows your account information and lets you customise your PowerPortal experience. Open it from the username dropdown in the top-right corner → **Settings**.

## Account information

The following fields are read from the TAU LDAP directory and cannot be changed in PowerPortal:

<table id="bkmrk-field-source-usernam"><thead><tr><th>Field</th><th>Source</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>**Username**</td><td>Your TAU login name.</td></tr><tr><td>**Full name**</td><td>First and last name from the TAU directory.</td></tr><tr><td>**Email**</td><td>Your TAU email address.</td></tr><tr><td>**UID**</td><td>Your POSIX user ID on the cluster filesystem.</td></tr></tbody></table>

To update your name or email, contact the TAU registrar or IT helpdesk.

## Groups

The Settings page also lists the POSIX groups your account belongs to, which affect partition and account access. If the list is long, use the show more/less control to expand or collapse it.

## Theme

Choose between **Light**, **Dark**, or **System** (follows your operating system or browser preference). The setting is saved to your account and persists across sessions and devices.

## Changing your password

Passwords are managed centrally by TAU — they cannot be changed inside PowerPortal. Use the TAU self-service password reset portal:

[https://pass.tau.ac.il/sspr/public/forgottenpassword](https://pass.tau.ac.il/sspr/public/forgottenpassword)

The same link is available on the login page if you are locked out.
