Welcome to the go-to guide on your Account Settings! The following setting options can be reviewed and updated within the platform.
To get started, select Account within the lefthand side navigation bar.
This article will go through the following:
Profile
This page is specific to your user settings, including the ability to reset your password and update your timezone settings.
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.
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.
Change password: update your current Meltwater password
Regarding SSO:
Meltwater strongly encourages all customers to use SSO, which allows you to set specific password complexity, rotation rules, and leverage MFA. For those customers who do not choose to use SSO, Meltwater’s customer password requirements are 8 characters, with 3 of 4 character types. Password resets are done via an email containing a URL.
Within Preferences, you can update a few more items.
Language: choose your Meltwater display language, from one of the 13 available languages
Time zone: select your time zone
Start page: set the area of Meltwater you would like to start on each time you login

To add new users - click on the purple 'Add user' button on the top right-hand corner of the screen (if you do not see this, check your user settings to make sure you are set up as an administrator).
