Manage Your Couchbase Capella Account

  • Capella Operational
    Couchbase Capella accounts are independent of organizations.

    Your Couchbase Capella account is your personal account that you use to sign in to the Couchbase Capella UI. Your account can be part of multiple organizations, and you can manage your account settings independently from your organizations.

    To manage your Couchbase Capella account settings:

    1. Click your initials in the upper-right corner of the Capella UI.

    2. Click My Account to open your account management page.

    In My Account, you can:

    Manage General Settings

    Users who sign in with SSO cannot change their name, email, password, or activate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) settings.

    To manage your profile’s general settings and information, go to General. You can manage the following settings:

    Change Your Profile Name

    To change your account’s profile name, go to the Name field and enter a new profile name. Click Save to save your changes.

    Change Your Password

    To change your password:

    1. In Login Credentials, click Reset Password to manage your password settings.

    2. Enter your existing password, and then enter and confirm your new password. Your new password must contain:

      • At least 12 characters

      • Uppercase characters (A-Z)

      • Lowercase characters (a-z)

      • Numbers (0-9)

      • Special characters, such as @, #, or $

    3. Click Change Password to save your changes.

    You can also reset your password by selecting Forgot Password from the log-in screen, which will send you a recovery email. You can only receive 1 password reset email per minute.

    Activate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

    Users who sign in with SSO cannot use Capella’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution. Instead, they use the configured identity provider’s MFA.

    To activate MFA for your Capella account, go to the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) field and click Activate MFA.

    For more information about activating MFA for your Capella account, see Manage Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
