# Add Credentials to a User Account

You can add a username and password to an existing YouTrack account as a new login. If a user has deleted or disabled an existing login, you can provide the user with a new set of credentials and add them manually to the user profile. The user can then log in to YouTrack with the new credentials. However, they are required to change the password immediately.

> **Note: Working with an External Hub Service**
> In YouTrack installations that are connected to an external Hub service, personal information and access rights for YouTrack user accounts are managed directly in Hub. The YouTrack profile contains a link to the Hub account which you can use to update personal information and manage logins for the YouTrack user account.

Administrators with the required permissions can add credentials to any user account in the system. Individual users with the Update Self permission can add credentials to their own accounts. For more information, see [Add Credentials to Your Account](add-credentials.html).
