In your profile, you can check your user details and change your personal settings. Follow these instructions to change your password or the interface language. User permissions are changed separately in user management.
Before changing your password
The browser and mobile apps have separate passwords. Even if both initially had the same password, changing it in your profile changes only the password for that app.
Your new password must contain at least eight characters, including at least one lowercase letter a–z, one uppercase letter A–Z, one number and one special character. For example, an exclamation mark works as a special character on all platforms. The browser's password change form accepts up to 100 characters; the server limit for mobile passwords is 128 characters. Android's password validation does not accept spaces. On mobile, the new password must also differ from the current password.
You need a working connection to the service. If you sign in with Microsoft or Google, change that account's password in your organisation's identity service. Changing your password in your Spotilla profile does not change the password in the external identity service.
Changing your password in the browser
- Open the Your profile user menu on the right side of the top bar, where your name appears. Select User profile.
- Enter your new password in the Password field and the same password in the Confirm password field. This form does not ask for your old password.
- Select Save at the bottom of the form. Once the changes have been saved successfully, the profile window closes.
If saving fails, the window stays open. Check the error message, the password requirements and that the fields match. Simply pressing the button does not confirm that the password has been changed.
Your profile name, email address and user status are view-only details. Ask an administrator to correct details you cannot change yourself.
Changing your password in the mobile app
The password change option appears in the Security view only when you have signed in with a regular Spotilla password. It is hidden when you sign in with Microsoft, Google or a QR code. For this feature, signing in with a QR code is therefore not equivalent to signing in with a password.
- Android: open the side menu from Todo at the bottom and select My profile. Tap the Settings button with the lock icon on the Security row in your profile.
- iOS: open the Todo tab and tap the person icon in the top left corner. Tap the Settings button with the lock icon on the Security row in your profile.
- In the Security view that opens, select CHANGE PASSWORD.
- Enter your new password in the upper password field and the same password in the lower confirmation field. In the Finnish-language form, both fields are labelled Uusi salasana. Use the eye icon in the field to show or hide the password you have entered.
- Tap Change your password on Android or Change Password on iOS.
The app sends the old password from its saved sign-in details. The server must also accept this old password: filling in the new password fields correctly does not by itself guarantee success. If the password has been changed elsewhere, the password saved in the app may be out of date.
After a successful change, the form closes and the app returns to the previous view. Android also displays the message Password changed successfully. The app updates the saved password, and any requirement for the user to change their password is cleared. Use the new password the next time you sign in to the mobile app with a regular password.
If the change fails, check the message, the new password requirements and the confirmation. Android may display a general error message even when the old password is invalid. Do not sign out just to test the password until saving has been confirmed. If you do not know the current password, follow the password reset instructions.
Changing the language
The available languages are Finnish, English, Swedish, German, Danish and French. The language selection changes the interface language; it does not automatically translate Spot names, task descriptions or other entries you have written yourself.
In the browser
Open your user profile as described above. Select Admin portal language and press Save. Leave both password fields empty if you are only changing the language. Once the changes have been saved successfully, the page reloads in the new language.
In a wide browser view, you can also change the language using the flag and language code menu on the right side of the top bar, for example FI or EN. The selection is saved and the page reloads. The browser language is saved to your user account.
On Android and iOS
Open your profile in the same way as when changing your password. Open the selection on the Language row in your profile, which shows the current language and flag. The language selection is in your profile, not in the Security view.
The mobile options are listed as English, Finnish, Swedish, German, Danish and French. For example, select Finnish to use Finnish. The selection is saved to the device without a separate Save button, and the app reopens the main view. Check the result by looking at the changed language in the menus. Change the browser and mobile languages separately.
The PIN code and biometric lock are separate settings from your sign-in password. See the instructions for the PIN lock and multi-factor authentication.
