Add Credentials to Your Account

Last modified: 17 December 2019

You can use any set of credentials as a YouTrack login. If you prefer to use a username and password that is not already saved as your primary login for YouTrack, you can add them as a new set of credentials.

This feature also lets you add existing credentials to your Hub account. When you add credentials to your profile, YouTrack checks these credentials against the list of existing Hub logins and the credentials that are stored in connected authentication modules.

  • If no match is found, you have the option to add these credentials to your current profile as a new Hub login. To add these credentials successfully, the password must meet the password strength requirement that is set for the Hub authentication module.

  • If Hub finds an existing Hub account that uses these credentials, you have the option to merge this user account with your current profile.

  • If Hub finds matching credentials in a connected authentication module, you have the option to add these external credentials to your profile.

To add credentials to your account:
