# How to Configure Your Security Emails

The **security emails** are backup email addresses associated with your account.

They are used to **recover access** if you lose it and to **receive alerts** related to your account’s security. You manage them from **My Profile > Security**.

> #### 📘 What will you get?
>
> One or more backup addresses associated with your account, so you can recover access and find out about any security alerts.

### Before you begin

You need to be logged in. This is a personal setting: it affects only your user account, not any organization. Have a reliable email address handy that you can securely access.

### 1. Open Security in My Profile

Click your name in the **user menu**, at the bottom left, and go to **My Profile**. Open the **Security** tab and select the **Security emails**.

### 2. Add a security email

In the **Add user email**field, type the email address you want to associate and click **Add**. Repeat the step to add multiple addresses.

> #### 📘 Choose the address carefully
>
> Use a different email from one that could become inaccessible if you lose access to the platform. The more recovery options you have, the better protected your account will be.

### Conclusion

With your security emails set up, your account gains a recovery method and a channel for receiving alerts. It’s a quick step that’s worth completing when setting up your account, along with a password of your own.

```
GET https://docs.plenit.com/docs-en/platform/accounts/how-to/how-to-configure-security-emails.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
