YouTrack Server 2022.2 Help

Manage your Password

Your ability to log in and work with YouTrack is managed using various authentication modules. The default authentication module used by YouTrack is provided by a built-in Hub service.

YouTrack can also be configured to store credentials that are managed by an external authentication provider. For example, it can be set up to let users log in with their Google accounts. To update your password in this case, simply log in to the third-party service and change your password. The updated credentials are synchronized with YouTrack automatically.

You can manage other credentials — like your JetBrains Account — directly on your profile page.
