You can manage your personal profile at [luma.com/settings](https://luma.com/settings), or in the Luma mobile app under **Settings > Edit Profile**.

## Profile Picture

To update your profile picture, click or tap your current photo and upload a new image. Your profile picture appears on your public profile, as a host on events, and in comments.

You can replace your profile picture with a new one, but there is no option to remove it entirely.

## Name, Bio, and Social Links

From your profile settings, you can update:

- **First and Last Name** — how Luma addresses you in emails and notifications
- **Bio** — a short description shown on your profile
- **Social links** — Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and website

On [luma.com/settings](https://luma.com/settings), if your display name differs from your first and last names (for example, a stage name or a mononym), you can set it separately by clicking **Edit** next to "Your full name is set as…".

## Username

Your username determines your public profile URL (e.g., `luma.com/user/yourname`) and your email sender address for personal calendar emails (e.g., `yourname@user.luma-mail.com`). You can change your username in **Settings** on web, or **Settings > Account Settings** on mobile.

## Email and Phone

- **Email** — your primary email is used to sign in and receive event updates. You can change it from settings (requires verification). You can also add additional email addresses so invites sent to any of your emails are linked to your account.
- **Phone number** — used for SMS sign-in and event reminders. You can add or remove your phone number from settings.

## Theme

Choose between **Light**, **Dark**, or **System** (follows your device setting). On iOS, you can also customize your app icon.

## Security

You can manage your account security from settings:

- **Password** — set or change your account password (web only)
- **Two-Factor Authentication** — add an extra layer of security with an authenticator app (web only)
- **Passkeys** — sign in securely with biometrics or a security key (available on all platforms)

For more details, see [Two-Factor Authentication](/p/two-factor-authentication) and [Passkeys](/p/passkeys).

## Linked Accounts

On web, you can link third-party accounts including Google, Apple, and Zoom. You can also connect Ethereum and Solana wallets.

## Troubleshooting

**An unexpected name appears in my emails or on event pages**

Luma addresses you by your first name, which can differ from the display name shown on your profile — for example if your account was originally set up under a different name. If a name you don’t recognize keeps appearing, go to [luma.com/settings](https://luma.com/settings), update your first and last name, and click **Edit** next to "Your full name is set as…" if your display name should stay different. Editing names is only available on the web, not in the mobile app.

## Deleting Your Account

You can delete your account from the bottom of your settings page. This is permanent and removes all your data, including events, guest lists, and tickets.

**If you have paid tickets to upcoming events, cancel and request a refund before deleting your account.** Deleting your account invalidates your tickets but doesn’t automatically refund any charges — the host won’t see you in their guest list anymore, and you’ll need to contact them directly to get your money back.
