Edit your AWS Builder ID profile

You can change your profile information at any time. You can edit the Email address and Name that you used to create an AWS Builder ID, as well as your Nickname. When using social logins like Google or Apple, only Name and Nickname are editable.

Your Name is how you’re referred to in tools and services while interacting with others. Your Nickname indicates how you want to be known by AWS, friends, and other people you collaborate with closely.

Note

Tools and services that use AWS Builder ID direct you to create and use your AWS Builder ID when needed.

Note

Changing your name and nickname with one of our other sign in partners does not update the same settings for your AWS Builder ID.

Add or change your recovery email

A recovery email is an alternate email address. Use it to regain access to your AWS Builder ID if you lose access to your primary sign-in method. A recovery email is optional, but we recommend that you add one. AWS Builder ID uses your recovery email to verify your identity during account recovery. Examples include when you reset a forgotten password, recover access after losing your MFA device, or switch your sign-in method from a social login. For more information, see Recover your AWS Builder ID.

Note

If you haven't set up a recovery email, AWS Builder ID prompts you to add one before you register an MFA device. This requirement helps make sure you can recover access to your AWS Builder ID if you lose your MFA device.

To add or change your recovery email

  1. Sign in to your AWS Builder ID profile at https://profile.aws.amazon.com.

  2. Choose Security.

  3. On the Security page, under Authentication, choose Add or Edit recovery email.

  4. On the Add recovery email page, enter the email address that you want to use as your recovery email, and then choose Continue. AWS Builder ID sends a one-time password (OTP) to that email address.

  5. On the Verify your identity page, enter the verification code, and then choose Continue. Depending on your email provider, it might take a few minutes for you to receive the email. Check your spam and junk folders for the code. If the code expires, choose Resend code.

After you verify your identity, your recovery email appears under Authentication on the Security page.
