# Profile and Preferences
|
||
|
||
To manage your profile and preferences, click on your avatar in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
|
||
From here, you can manage a couple aspects of your account:
|
||
|
||
## Profile
|
||
|
||
To update your profile, you must first authenticate yourself by entering your current password.
|
||
After that, you can update your name and email, and set a new password.
|
||
Leaving the New Password field blank will keep your current password intact.
|
||
|
||
:::tip Pick a strong password
|
||
Koel enforces a strong password policy.
|
||
Make sure to pick a password that is at least 10 characters long and contains a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
|
||
Your password will also be checked against a list of leaked passwords for extra security.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Custom Avatar
|
||
|
||
By default, Koel uses [Gravatar](https://gravatar.com) to fetch your avatar based on your email address.
|
||
By hovering over the avatar and clicking the <InterfaceIcon :src="uploadIcon" /> icon, you can select an image file from your computer, crop it, and set it as your custom avatar.
|
||
Remember to click Save for the change to take effect.
|
||
|
||
To remove your custom avatar and revert to using Gravatar, click the <InterfaceIcon :src="timesIcon" /> icon.
|
||
|
||
## Themes
|
||
|
||
At the time of this writing, Koel comes with 17 themes built-in. You can activate a theme simply by clicking on it. The new theme will be applied immediately.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
More themes are to be added in the future, along with the ability to create your own theme.
|
||
|
||
## Preferences
|
||
|
||
Koel allows you to set a couple of preferences:
|
||
|
||
* Whether playing a song should trigger continuous playback of the entire playlist, album, artist, or genre
|
||
* Whether to show a notification whenever a new song starts playing
|
||
* Whether to confirm before closing Koel’s browser tab
|
||
* Whether to show a translucent, blurred overlay of the current album’s art
|
||
* Whether to transcode music on the fly (mobile only, useful if you have a slow network connection)
|
||
* Whether to set your uploaded music as public by default <PlusBadge />
|
||
|
||
These preferences are saved immediately upon change and synced across all of your devices.
|
||
|
||
## Service Integration Statuses
|
||
|
||
If your Koel installation is [integrated](../service-integrations) with any external services, such as Last.fm or Spotify, you can see their statuses here along with the ability to connect or disconnect them when applicable.
|
||
|
||
## QR Code Authentication
|
||
|
||
This tab displays a QR code that you can scan to log in to [Koel Player](../mobile-apps.md) on your phone without having to manually enter your credentials.
|
||
The code refreshes every ten minutes, but you can also manually refresh it.
|
||
|
||
<script lang="ts" setup>
|
||
import uploadIcon from '../assets/icons/upload.svg'
|
||
import timesIcon from '../assets/icons/times.svg'
|
||
</script>
