## Personal information

Open personal information to check displayed contact details. Save changes and verify the result.

## Notifications

Under **Notifications**, review available preferences and events relevant to you. In-app notifications remain accessible from their dedicated entry. An assessment notification may open an object that also requires access permissions.

## Authentication

Use **Authentification** to review methods and security options offered to your account. Follow verification steps when required. For SSO-managed accounts, some operations belong to the organization’s identity provider.

## Expected outcome

Your language, appearance and preferences meet your needs. If an expected message is missing, also check the account email and spam folder.
