Add Credentials to Your Account

Last modified: 09 October 2024

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 account. When you add credentials to your profile, YouTrack checks these credentials against the list of existing 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 login. To add these credentials successfully, the password must meet the password strength requirement that is set for the Hub authentication module.

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

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

There are two scenarios where you are not allowed to add credentials to your account:

  • The specified username and password are already stored as a login for your account.

  • The specified username and password match an existing login for another user.
