You can manage and update the profile settings associated with your Visual Studio Code account by accessing the account settings menu and managing your Visual Studio profile in a web browser.
Managing your account in VS Code typically involves signing in with a Microsoft or GitHub account to sync settings, extensions, and leverage features like Live Share. While you might sign out and sign in with a different account, the provided reference specifically details how to change the settings associated with your linked Visual Studio profile.
Steps to Manage Your Visual Studio Profile
To modify details or settings linked to your Visual Studio profile associated with your VS Code account, follow these steps:
- Open Visual Studio Code.
- Navigate to the main menu bar.
- Select File.
- Hover over or click Account Settings....
- In the Account Settings menu that appears, select the Manage Visual Studio profile link.
- A new browser window will open, taking you to your Visual Studio profile management page.
- Within the browser window, locate and select Edit profile.
- Change the desired profile settings (e.g., name, picture, contact information, etc.).
- Once you have made your changes, select Save changes to confirm the updates.
This process allows you to directly edit the information tied to the Visual Studio profile that your VS Code account is linked to, ensuring your details are up-to-date across Microsoft services.
Keep in mind that changing your "account" might also mean signing out of one account and signing in with another within VS Code to switch user contexts or sync settings associated with a different identity. However, the steps above specifically address managing the profile details of your currently linked account as described in the reference.
