Select your profile photo or initials at the top right of any page. The menu has Manage Your Profile, Notification Preferences, Personalisation, Privacy Preferences and Logout.
Update your personal details
Select your profile photo, then Manage Your Profile.
Select Edit Profile.
Under General Information, use Upload Photo to add a profile photo and update your preferred name. Under Contact Details, update your address and phone numbers. Parents can also update Work Details and Family Details.
Select Save Changes.
If you cannot edit your details, your school has locked parent profiles. Ask your school to update them for you.
Change your email address
On Edit Profile, enter your new address in the E-mail field under Contact Details, then select Save Changes. ManageBac+ sends a confirmation email to the new address. Open it and confirm before you use the new address to sign in.
Change or reset your password
To change your password while signed in:
On Edit Profile, select Change Password at the top right.
Enter Your Password, then your New Password twice.
Select Save Changes.
Your new password needs at least 8 characters and should be hard to guess. Common words and number sequences are rejected. See Creating Strong Passwords that are Easy to Remember.
If you have forgotten your password, select Forgot your password? on the sign-in page and enter the email address on your account. ManageBac+ emails you a link to reset it.
If your school uses single sign-on, such as Google, Microsoft or the Faria Accounts Portal, you may not have a separate ManageBac+ password. See Using the Faria Accounts Portal for Single Sign-on (SSO).
Change the language
On Edit Profile, choose a language under UI Language and select Save Changes. ManageBac+ shows menus and buttons in that language.

- Landing Page: the page that opens when you sign in. Choose My Workspace, Calendar or Portfolio. You can always get back to it by selecting the school name at the top left.
- Themes: choose Blue, Orange, Red, Plum or Teal. Until you choose, your account uses the theme your school has set.
- Accessibility: turn on High contrast mode, or Disable single-key shortcuts if you use a screen reader or keyboard navigation.
Select Save Changes.
