Account
Under Account, you can edit your account settings, enable 2-step verification, and view recent login activity of
your DSM account.
Limitations:
The user description is case sensitive and can be 0 to 64 displayable Unicode characters.
The password is case sensitive and should be 0 to 127 displayable characters, including letters, numbers, signs,
and space.
2-Step Verification
2-step verification provides improved security for your DSM account. If 2-step verification is enabled, you will
need to enter your password in addition to a one-time verification code when logging into DSM. Verification codes
are obtained from authenticator apps installed on your mobile device. Therefore, if someone wants to access
your account, he will not only need your username and password, but also your mobile device.
Requirements:
2-step verification requires a mobile device and an authenticator app which supports the Time-based One-Time
Password (TOTP) protocol. Authenticator apps include Google Authenticator (Android/iPhone/BlackBerry) or
Authenticator (Windows Phone).
Account Activity
Account activity displays recent login activity of your DSM account, such as the time your account was accessed
or from what IP address.
Quota
Under Quota, you can view your quota on all Synology NAS volumes set by DSM administrators, as well as the
amount of capacity you have used on each volume.
Desktop
Under Desktop, you can customize the appearance of your desktop by changing the main menu style, icon size,
background and text color of the desktop, or uploading images to be used as the desktop wallpaper.
Photo Station
This tab is viewable only when users belonging to the administrators group enable Personal Photo Station
service in Photo Station. Synology NAS provides the home/photo folder for you to store photos and videos that
you want to share. The system will create index thumbnails of the photos and videos automatically, and then
people can view photo albums via a web browser.
Email Account
You can add or edit email accounts to send files stored in File Station as attachments using the email addresses
added here.
Others
Under Others, you can customize other personal options. For more information about personal options, please
see DSM Help.
