## TL;DR

Managing your Bubble account involves navigating account settings, updating billing and plan details, managing team members and connected services, and securing your account. This tutorial covers each account management task through Bubble's dashboard and settings panels so you can keep your account organized and secure.

## Overview: Managing Your Bubble Account

This tutorial covers everything you need to manage your Bubble account effectively: updating personal information, handling billing and subscriptions, inviting team members, connecting external services, and configuring security settings. Whether you are a solo builder or managing a team, these account management basics keep your Bubble workspace organized.

## Before you start

- A Bubble account (free or paid)
- Access to the email address associated with your account
- A payment method if you plan to manage billing

## Step-by-step guide

### 1. Access your account settings

Go to bubble.io/home and click your profile icon or name in the top-right corner. Select 'Account' or 'Settings' from the dropdown menu. The account settings page has several sections: General (name, email, password), Billing (plan, payment method, invoices), Notifications (email preferences), and Security (two-factor authentication, sessions). Review each section to understand what is available.

**Expected result:** You can navigate to and view all sections of your Bubble account settings.

### 2. Update your email, password, and profile

In the General section, you can change your display name, email address, and password. To change your email: enter the new email address and confirm it. Bubble may send a verification email to the new address. To change your password: enter your current password and the new password. Choose a strong password with at least 12 characters. Your profile photo can be updated from this section as well — click the avatar area to upload a new image.

**Expected result:** Your profile information, email, and password are updated successfully.

### 3. Manage your plan and billing

In the Billing section, you can see your current plan, usage statistics, and payment method. To upgrade or downgrade: click 'Change plan' and select the desired tier. Changes take effect immediately for upgrades and at the end of the billing cycle for downgrades. Update your payment method by clicking 'Update card' and entering new card details. View past invoices by scrolling down to the invoice history section. Monitor your workload unit usage to ensure you are on the right plan.

> Pro tip: Set up WU usage alerts in your app's Settings → Metrics to get notified before you hit your plan's limit.

**Expected result:** Your plan, payment method, and billing information are up to date.

### 4. Add and manage team members

To add collaborators to a specific app, open the app editor and go to Settings → Collaboration. Click 'Add a collaborator' and enter their email address. Set their role: Editor (full access to design and workflows) or Viewer (can see but not modify). For agency or team accounts, manage team-level settings from the account dashboard. Each collaborator needs their own Bubble account. Remove collaborators by clicking the remove icon next to their name.

**Expected result:** Team members are added to your app with appropriate access levels.

### 5. Configure account security

In the Security section, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for additional login protection. Bubble supports authenticator apps (like Google Authenticator or Authy). Enable it, scan the QR code with your authenticator app, and enter the verification code to confirm. Review active sessions to see where your account is logged in — revoke any sessions you do not recognize. Consider enabling login notifications to receive an email whenever your account is accessed from a new device.

**Expected result:** Two-factor authentication is enabled and active sessions are reviewed for security.

## Common mistakes

- **Using the same password as other services** — If another service is breached, your Bubble account and all your apps become vulnerable Fix: Use a unique, strong password for your Bubble account and enable two-factor authentication for additional protection
- **Not removing collaborators who no longer need access** — Former team members or contractors retain full editor access to your app's data, workflows, and settings Fix: Review collaborators regularly and remove anyone who no longer needs access to your apps
- **Letting the payment method expire without updating** — If payment fails, Bubble may downgrade your plan or restrict access to features, potentially taking your live app offline Fix: Set a calendar reminder to update your payment method before it expires

## Best practices

- Enable two-factor authentication on your Bubble account
- Use a unique strong password and store it in a password manager
- Review and remove unused collaborators regularly
- Monitor workload unit usage through Settings → Metrics
- Keep your payment method up to date to prevent service interruption
- Review active sessions periodically and revoke unknown ones
