# Your profile and password

> **You need:** nothing beyond being signed in. Your profile is your own record.

## What your profile shows

Your own details as held in your employee record: your identifier, name, and contact details such as email, phone, city, address and date of birth where they are filled in.

It is a view of **your** record — the same record an employee manager sees in the Employees area, from your side.

> If something here is wrong, you generally cannot correct it yourself. Ask whoever manages employees — see [Editing an employee](/books/console-yF7/page/editing-an-employee).

## Changing your password

You can change your own password whenever you like, and you should if it was assigned to you by someone else.

**The rules are narrower than most systems**, so read them before choosing:

| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum length | 8 characters |
| **Maximum length** | **10 characters** |
| Must contain | At least one uppercase letter |

The maximum is the one that catches people out. A long passphrase will be rejected — you need something between 8 and 10 characters with at least one capital.

Within that, favour something unpredictable over something memorable-but-guessable, and don't reuse a password from elsewhere.

## If you're told your password is weak

The console flags a password that doesn't meet the rules at sign-in. That flag doesn't lock you out, so it is easy to ignore for months.

Change it when you see it. It takes a minute and you already have the screen open.

## If you've forgotten it

There is no self-service reset. Someone with employee management rights sets a new one for you — see [Employees - Password](/books/console-yF7/page/employees-password). They cannot tell you your old password; they can only replace it.
