You can manage your own Launchpad account settings such as your first name, last name, password, time zone, and 2-factor authentication. You must be logged in with your credentials to manage your own account settings. Changes in the account settings are applicable from the subsequent login.
You can edit your personal information such as first name, last name, e-mail ID and time zone at any time. First name, last name, e-mail ID, time zone can be edited if you are a local user. You can edit only the last name and time zone if you are a federated user.
When you edit the e-mail id, a notification e-mail is sent to the old e-mail ID, and a confirmation e-mail is sent to the modified e-mail ID. The purpose of the confirmation e-mail is to seek confirmation for the modified e-mail ID. You can confirm the modified e-mail ID by clicking the link provided in the confirmation e-mail.
Note: If you change an e-mail ID multiple times before you confirm it, the confirmation e-mail that has been sent to latest e-mail ID is considered valid. Even if you click the links provided in the confirmation e-mail to an intermediate e-mail ID, it is ignored by Launchpad.
If you have not received the confirmation e-mail, you can resend the e-mail to the modified e-mail ID by clicking the Resend email link seen below the Email field under Personal Details. This link is visible only if you have not confirmed the modified e-mail ID by clicking the link provided in the confirmation e-mail.

You can either use the key or scan the QR code with a time-based one time password app such as Google Authenticator or Authy. Google Authenticator or Authy can be installed on your smartphone. Google Authenticator or Authy generates a one-time password for you periodically. You can use this password for the second level of authentication while logging in to Launchpad.
