**Outcome.** By the end your profile and time zone are right, your password meets the rules, you know how to sign in with a login code, and you get the candidate emails you want.

## Before you start

- A Truffle account. The 7-day free trial works: 30 credits, no credit card.
- Any role. Profile, Notifications and Security are your own settings, so every teammate has them.

## Steps

### 1. Open Settings

Choose your name at the bottom of the sidebar. The menu shows your role and email, then **Settings** and **Notifications**. Choose **Settings**. Your own pages sit under **YOU**: **Profile**, **Notifications** and **Security**.

### 2. Update your profile

**Profile** holds your **Name**, **Job title**, **Phone** and **Timezone**. Deadlines and activity times display in the time zone you pick. Your **Email** is where your notifications go. It cannot be edited here: use **Contact us** to change it. Choose **Save changes** when you are done. These details are visible only to your team.

### 3. Change your password

Choose **Security**. Under **Password**, enter your **Current password**, then a **New password** and **Confirm new password**. A checklist under the new password ticks off each rule as you type: **At least 8 characters**, **One uppercase letter**, **One lowercase letter** and **One number**. **Update password** becomes available once the form is valid.

> Note: If you sign in with Google only, you can still sign in with a login code, shown below.

### 4. Choose your candidate emails

Choose **Notifications**. **Email notifications** decides which candidates you get emailed about, and it applies only to you. Pick **For all completed interviews**, **Only strong matches** or **Never**. **Only strong matches** emails you when a candidate's Overall comes out Strong, or, on a position that measures a single signal, when that signal comes out High. The emails go to the address shown under the options. There is no Save button: your choice applies when you pick it.

> Note: The setting is per person, not per position. Each teammate picks their own. You also get an email when a candidate asks for an alternative to the video interview.

### 5. Open What's new

Choose **Help** in the sidebar. The menu has **Help center**, **Send us a message**, **Share feedback** and **What's new**. A dot next to **What's new** means there are entries you have not seen.

### 6. Read the latest changes

The **What's new** panel lists recent changes to Truffle, each with a date and a short description. A dot marks the ones you have not seen. An entry can link straight to the part of the product it describes, such as **Open settings**. You only see entries that apply to your plan and role.

### 7. Sign in with a code instead of a password

On the login page, **Welcome back**, you can choose **Continue with Google**, or enter your **Email** and **Password** and choose **Log in**. To skip the password, type your email and choose **Email me a code instead**. **Forgot password?** sends you a reset link instead.

### 8. Enter the 6-digit code

**Check your email** confirms where the 6-digit code went. Type the code into the box and choose **Continue**. If it has not arrived, **Resend code** becomes available after a short countdown. **Use password instead** takes you back. After you sign in, Truffle opens the page you were trying to reach, such as a candidate link from a teammate.

> Note: Login codes work for every account, including ones that used to sign in with Google only.

## FAQ

**How do I change my email address?**

Your email is shown on Profile but cannot be edited there. Use Contact us on that page and support changes it for you.

**What are the password rules?**

At least 8 characters, with one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one number. You enter your current password first.

**How does a login code work?**

On the login page, type your email and choose Email me a code instead. Truffle emails you a 6-digit code. Type it in and choose Continue.

**I forgot my password. What do I do?**

Choose Forgot password? on the login page. Reset your password asks for your email and sends you a reset link. You can also sign in with a login code.

**Does my notification choice change what my teammates get?**

No. Email notifications apply only to you. Each teammate picks their own.

**Can I get notifications for one position only?**

No. The setting is per person, not per position.

**Why does What's new not show an update a teammate mentioned?**

What's new only shows entries that apply to your plan and role.
