To view your available account settings, click your profile avatar in the upper-right corner of DataRobot and click User settings.

On the User settings tile, you can access the following tabs:

| Tab | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Account | View and edit your private account information, public profile, and language selection. |
| Authentication | Configure password, sign-in methods, and two-factor authentication to secure your DataRobot account. |
| System | Update your display language, color theme, default DataRobot experience, and CSV export settings. |
| Notifications | Mute email notifications and update Autopilot completion notifications. |

## Account

## Authentication

To secure your DataRobot account, configure your password and two-factor authentication settings on the Authentication tab.

### Change password

To change your password, enter your current password, enter a new password, and then confirm the new password. If your current password is incorrect, or the new password and confirmation password fields don't match, you receive an error message.

DataRobot passwords must meet the following requirements:

- Only printable ASCII characters
- Minimum one uppercase letter
- Minimum one number
- Minimum 8 characters
- Maximum 512 characters
- Username and password cannot be the same

### Sign-in methods

To add new methods to log in to your DataRobot account, click Add for either Google or Github SSO.

### Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an opt-in feature that provides additional security for DataRobot users. See the section on [2FA](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/platform/acct-settings/2fa.html) for setup information. To enable 2FA, you must use the username/password account type.

## System

Allows you to manage the following system-wide settings:

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Language | To change the language DataRobot displays, open the Language dropdown menu and click your preferred language. DataRobot reloads to display in your language. Available languages include English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. |
| Theme | The DataRobot application displays in the dark theme by default. To change the color of the display, use the Theme dropdown menu to select between Dark and Light. |
| Default experience | To change between the Classic and NextGen DataRobot experiences, use the toggle. Enable it to use the NextGen UI. Disable the toggle to use the Classic DataRobot experience. |
| CSV export | To enable or disable BOM insertion in exported CSV files, under CSV export, switch the Include BOM toggle. This setting is disabled by default. |

> [!NOTE] Note
> Changing the DataRobot display language does not affect uploaded data, model names, and some other UI elements.

### Include byte order mark (BOM)

The [byte order mark (BOM)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark) is a byte sequence that indicates encoding by adding three bytes to the beginning of a file. DataRobot allows you to enable or disable the inclusion of this marker in your profile settings. Software recognizing the BOM is then able to display files correctly.

When exported CSV files include non-ASCII characters, use the BOM to ensure compatibility with file editors that don't verify encoding. For example, without the BOM, Excel may misrepresent characters from languages other than English. Modern versions of Excel correctly display international characters if you include the BOM.

## Notifications

On the Notifications tab, you can mute email notifications and configure Autopilot completion notifications:

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Mute all email notifications | To mute email notifications and configure Autopilot completion notifications, click your profile avatar in the upper-right corner and navigate to User Settings > Notifications. |
| Enable email notification when Autopilot has finished | To mute all DataRobot email notifications, such as Autopilot notifications, deployment monitoring notifications, etc., enable the Mute all email notifications setting. |
| Enable browser notification when Autopilot has finished | If you close your browser or log out, DataRobot continues building models in any projects that have started the model building phase. To allow DataRobot to send a notification when Autopilot completes—via browser alert or email—use the Enable email notification when Autopilot has finished and Enable browser notification when Autopilot has finished settings. |
