The Profile tab in Settings holds the personal details for an AliasFleet account: profile picture, full name, username, email address and website. The tab also holds account information and a data export, and each card saves separately.
Sign in to the AliasFleet app. The Profile tab is open to every signed-in account. Editing profile details requires no plan upgrade.
How do I open the Profile tab?#
Settings has five tabs: General, Profile, Email Routing, Security and Developer. The Profile tab holds five cards, in this order: Profile Picture, Profile Information, Account Information, Notification Preferences and Your Data.
- Sign in to the AliasFleet app.
- Open Settings from the sidebar.
- Select the Profile tab at the top of the Settings page, or go directly to
/settings?tab=profile. - Open the card for the detail to change. Each card saves separately.
How do I change my profile picture?#
The Profile Picture card is headed "Upload or update your profile picture". The picture appears beside the account name in the app header and sidebar, and updates there when the upload completes.
- Click the file field labelled "Upload Image" and choose an image file.
- Check the preview. The chosen image appears in a circular frame. The X button beside the field discards the preview, so a different file can be chosen.
- Click "Upload Avatar" to save the picture. The button appears only after a file is chosen. The app shows "Avatar Updated" when the upload completes.
The field accepts JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP files. Files must be under 5 MB. A larger file is rejected with "Image size must be less than 5MB". The app compresses the image before upload. If the compressed file is still over 1 MB, it is rejected with "Please use a smaller image".
To remove the current picture, click the small red round button with a trash icon at the bottom right of the picture. The button appears only when a picture is set.
How do I update my name, username and website?#
The Profile Information card is headed "Update your personal information and preferences". It holds four fields. After editing a field, click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the card. The button stays disabled until a change is made and shows the tooltip "No changes to save". A "Reset" button appears once a change is made and restores the saved values.
| Field | What it does | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Full Name | The display name shown with the account. | At least 2 characters. The field shows "Name must be at least 2 characters" for a shorter entry. |
| Email Address | Shows the login email address. | Disabled. The address cannot be changed from this field. |
| Username | The account handle, shown with an @ prefix. Typed text is converted to lowercase by the app. | 3 to 30 characters. Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores only. See the username rules below. |
| Website | An optional personal or business website linked to the profile. | Must start with https://. An X button clears the field. The site favicon appears beside the field when a website is set. |
What are the username rules?#
Availability is checked as the name is typed. A free name shows "Username is available!", a taken name shows "Username is already taken", and a failed check shows "Could not verify availability".
A username must meet all of these rules:
- 3 to 30 characters long.
- Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores only.
- Cannot start or end with a hyphen or underscore, and cannot contain two hyphens or underscores in a row, in any combination.
- Cannot start with
user_,user-,af_,af-,admin_,admin-,system_,system-orxn--. - Cannot consist of numbers only.
Returning to the current username clears the check and leaves the field neutral. No error appears for the name already in use.
Why can the email address not be changed?#
The Email Address field is disabled and shown faded. The note "Email cannot be changed" appears beneath it, and the tooltip "Email addresses cannot be changed for security reasons" appears on hover. The Profile tab offers no control to change the login email.
What does the Account Information section show?#
The Account Information card is headed "View your account details". Both values are read-only.
- Identity Number: the account identity number, with a copy button beside it. The card shows "No ID assigned" when no identity number exists.
- Account Created: the date the account was created.
How do I change notification preferences from the Profile tab?#
In-App Notifications has five switches: System, Billing, Security, Feature and Delivery. They cover system updates, billing and payments, security events, new features, and delivery failures and bounces. Email Notifications has one switch, "Send Email Notifications", which sends email alerts for the notification types switched on above. Click "Save Preferences" to apply the choices. The full notification guide is Notification Settings.
How do I export my data?#
The Your Data card is headed "Download a copy of all your account data", covering profile, aliases, destinations and settings.
- Click "Export My Data" in the Your Data card. The "Export Your Data" dialog opens.
- Choose a format. JSON is marked Recommended; CSV is the other option.
- Click "Download". The file downloads as
aliasfleet-export-YYYY-MM-DD.jsonoraliasfleet-export-YYYY-MM-DD.csv, using the current date, and the app shows "Export Complete" when the download starts.
The exported file holds a copy of the account data and should be stored somewhere safe.
What if something goes wrong?#
- "Username is already taken": choose a different username. Adding numbers, a hyphen or an underscore may produce a free variation.
- Username length or character errors: the name must be 3 to 30 characters and use lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores only, with no spaces or dots.
- Image size errors: "Image size must be less than 5MB" means the file is over 5 MB; "Please use a smaller image" means the compressed file is still over 1 MB. Use a smaller or lower-resolution image.
- "URL should start with https://": add
https://to the start of the website address. - "Could not verify availability": the username check did not run. Wait a moment and type the name again.
- Save Changes stays disabled: no field value has changed. Edit a field first. The button enables once a change exists.
