My User Profile

Clicking on this section provides you with four settings for your user profile. You can quickly access your User profile by clicking this link.

Basic Info

If you want to change your personal information, such as your first and last name or email, make the relevant changes in the corresponding boxes provided under this section. When you change your email, a verification email will be sent to your new email address. Nonetheless, from this tab, you can also change your user profile's timezone, language, and date and time.


Timezone

In the Basic Info tab, you can set your preferred Timezone and Language for your Yodeck user profile.

Concerning the Timezone selection, you can find a single Timezone dropdown menu instead of the previous Country and City fields. This makes it easier to find and select the correct timezone without having to browse multiple dropdown menus.

šŸ’”Tip: When possible, Yodeck automatically detects your location and preselects the most relevant timezone for your profile. You can manually change it at any time. To change your timezone:

  1. Click the Timezone dropdown.

  2. Use the search field to search by:

    • City

    • Country

    • UTC/GMT offset

  3. Select the correct timezone from the list.

  4. Click Save to apply your changes.

Password

In this section, you can change your password to a new one.

Two Factor-2FA

2FA

Two-step verification (a.k.a 2FA) or two-step authentication confirms a user's claimed identity by utilizing something they know (password) and a second factor other than something they have. An example of a second step is the user repeating something sent to them through an out-of-band mechanism. The second step might be a 6-digit number generated by an app common to the user and the authentication system. Yodeck provides this feature to secure your account with the Two Factor feature.

Let's get started and then show you how to enable this feature.

First, download an authenticator app. You can choose the app based on your mobile or laptop device to pair with your Yodeck account.

  • Google Authenticator for iOS

  • Google Authenticator for Android

  • Microsoft Authenticator for Windows Mobile

  • WinAuth for PC/Laptop

  • Google Authenticator for Browser

  • or any two-factor authentication application


Authenticator App Setup

After downloading one of the Authenticator above apps, please follow the below steps:

  1. Login to your Yodeck Account and go to "My User Profile"

  2. Click the "Two Factor" tab

  3. When you enable the Two Factor Authentication, a QR Code will be generated with a Secret Key.

    • You can scan the QR code and get a new 6-digit code with a camera.

    • If you don't have a camera for scanning the code, use the Secret key with your Authenticator app.

  4. A new window will appear when you click the "Save" button. In the new window, enter the 6-digit code generated by the app installed on your PC/Laptop/Browser/Cell Phone, and click OK.

If the procedure succeeds, you will see a relevant message, and your Two-factor Authentication app will be ready.

Besides, even if the procedure fails, you will not lock yourself out. Two-factor authentication will not be enabled.

Enforcing 2FA for all users?

Global Admins must complete these steps on their own profile before they can enable Enforce Two Factor Authentication under Account Settings > Security Policies. Otherwise, the setting does not save, and a Password policy update failed message appears.

Theme

Theme

In this tab, you can choose the central theme appearance of the Yodeck platform, which can be either Light Theme, Dark Theme, or System.

Specifically, each theme has the following benefits and use cases:

  • Light Theme: It applies a bright color scheme, which is ideal for well-lit environments.

  • Dark Theme: It utilizes a darker palette to minimize eye strain in low-light conditions.

  • System: This theme automatically matches the device’s current appearance settings.
