Manage your Password

Last modified: 17 December 2019

User authentication and authorization for YouTrack is managed by the Hub service. To change your YouTrack password, you need to update your Hub account. When you change the password in your Hub account, use the new credentials to access YouTrack and any other service that is connected to Hub.

Your Hub service can also be configured to store credentials that are managed by an external authentication provider. For example, your Hub service can be set up to let users log in with their Google accounts. To update your password in this case, simply log in to the third-party service and change your password. The updated credentials are synchronized with Hub automatically.

You can manage other credentials — like your JetBrains Account — directly on your profile page.
