There are various settings you can review and update to tailor your platform experience to your needs.

This article will go through:

This page is specific to your user settings, including the ability to reset your password, update your time zone settings, etc.

To access the Profile tab, follow the below steps:

  1. Click the Account drop-down in the left-hand navigation bar

Within the Profile page, you can update a few items.

  • First name & Last name: make sure to keep your name updated, if you change your name, or go by another name, such as a shortened name (Ex. Dave instead of David). There are a few places within Meltwater that your name will display to other users.

  • Department and Role: this is great place to specify which department you are in especially if multiple teams in your organization use the same Meltwater account.

  • Change password: update your current Meltwater password

    Note: You will not be able to reset your own email address while logged into the system. If you'd like to update your email address please reach out to our team via Live Chat for assistance.
