Self-service Account Update page configuration

The Identity Management (IdM) tool contains the Self-service Account Update page function to allow end users to manage their own profiles.

Note

We've redesigned and renamed the Self-Service Account Update page to User Account. It's now part of the New Experience, where you can attach a modern theme and customize field visibility.

To learn more, see User Account page configuration.

This topic is for the standard version of the Self-Service Account Update page, configurable in the Advanced Settings (formerly Classic Experience).

End users who securely login to the Self-service Account Update page, can update their profile information like the following:

  • Add new mobile number, personal email address

  • Change home address, last name

  • Update multi-factor authentication (PIN, KBQs, reset device recognition information)

  • Reset and revoke devices and browsers provisioned for time-based passcodes, push notifications, and push-to-accept
