# Manage your Cloud account and preferences
Your Elastic Cloud account allows you to manage your personal settings, including your email address, password, and authentication methods. You can perform the following tasks at any time from your user profile:
- [Update your email address](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5457/cloud-account/update-your-email-address)
- [Add an additional login method](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5457/cloud-account/add-a-login-method): Choose from password-based login, Google sign-in, and Microsoft sign-in.

If you use password-based login, then you can perform the following additional tasks:
- [Change your password](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5457/cloud-account/change-your-password)
- [Configure multifactor authentication](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5457/cloud-account/multifactor-authentication)

Additionally, you can manage your organization membership, including joining or leaving an organization. Refer to [Join or leave an organization](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5457/cloud-account/join-or-leave-an-organization) for more information.
Some options also let you set personal preferences and customize the interface, such as [using dark mode](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5457/cloud-account/dark-mode) in your projects and deployments.
