MYABF UPDATE with Julian Foster
Things you may not realise you can do yourself!
We frequently receive help desk tickets from users advising us that they have changed their email ad- dress and asking us to update their myABF account. Sometimes we also get asked to give someone else access to a club’s administration area.
Like many things in myABF, however, you can do both of these yourself – you don’t need to ask us to do it!
1. UPDATING PERSONAL DETAILS (E.G. EMAIL)
You can update your email address and other per- sonal information at any time in your profile page.
You access your profile slightly differently depend- ing on whether you are using a computer or a tablet/ phone.
• On a computer – via the person icon at the top right of your dashboard (pictured above).
• On a phone or tablet – via the Account menu:
These will open your own Profile page where you can update everything except your ABF number (which is fixed and is the unique reference point for your myABF account):
So this is where you can update the email address associated with your account. That’s the email that needs to be input in order to reset your password. But you don’t need your email to log in.
When you login, you can usually use either your email OR your ABF number to login.
If you share an email with someone else, then only one of those accounts can login with the email; others will need to use ABF number.
Personally I always login with myABF number. It’s easier to type one six- or seven-digit number than an entire email address. What’s more, it doesn’t change, so you don’t need to remember what email address you have registered in myABF!
