Profile Setup & Editing
Updated over a week ago

In your Any.do account's Profile, you can easily set your account’s avatar, edit your name and email, and change your password as needed. By managing these elements, you can ensure your profile reflects your identity and stays secure. Whether you need to update your email address or personalize your avatar, these steps will guide you through maintaining and modifying your account information.


🎭 How to add/edit an account avatar

Each Any.do account can be personalized with an avatar (image) that will be reflected in the account's Profile page. This avatar will also be used in Teams (Workspace) and Family boards, indicating the assigned member. We highly recommend adding an avatar when sharing items as it significantly helps in quickly identifying assigned tasks πŸ€“

Each Any.do account can be associated with a single email address. This email will be used whenever you log in and also for different functions like emailing personal tasks to your account.

🎯 FAQs

🚧 I get "Oops, something went wrong" when trying to change my email.

You might be using an incorrect password or trying to change to an email that already has an account associated with it.

Ifyou are not sure if you have another Any.do account associated with the email address to which you are trying to associate your account, try signing into the app using that email.

  • If you are unsuccessful, contact our support team.

  • If you are able to log into this account, you can delete it by going to Menu β†’ Settings β†’ Profile β†’ Delete account. You can then log into your other Any.do account and change the associated email to this email address.

Be advised that if you used an external ID to create your account (such as Google, Facebook or Apple), you will need to create an Any.do password first in order to make these changes. You can do this by simply using the 'forgot password' link with your external ID's email address via the standard email log-in option.
