# User profile explained

#### How do I manage my user profile?

Various elements of your user profile can be managed by selecting your avatar or display name from the Gateway to reveal your profile management area.

1. From the Gateway, select your avatar or display name. ![The Curator Gateway with the avatar and display name highlighted at the top of the left menu](https://cdn.document360.io/c173e68f-0609-4297-9277-0fc5c6b45db7/Images/Setting/gateway-dashboard-avatar-44.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T19%3A07%3A24Z&se=2026-11-06T20%3A07%3A24Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=LmSXDRQfgBV0Gj%2BWgqGnoQ7mnYmqwDppIi1cvU%2FOfLk%3D)
2. Your user profile will open. ![The My Profile page in Curator Gateway, with edit icons beside the display name, two factor authentication and external logins](https://cdn.document360.io/c173e68f-0609-4297-9277-0fc5c6b45db7/Images/Setting/gateway-my-profile-44.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T19%3A07%3A24Z&se=2026-11-06T20%3A07%3A24Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=LmSXDRQfgBV0Gj%2BWgqGnoQ7mnYmqwDppIi1cvU%2FOfLk%3D)
