Accounts

Your personal account on DigitalOcean lets you manage your team membership as well as your name, and sign-in method, email subscriptions.

How to Manage DigitalOcean Personal Account Settings

The My Account page lets you view and edit your login method, 2FA, team membership, and email preferences.

How to Manage Two-Factor Authentication

Set up two-factor authentication to add an additional layer of security to your DigitalOcean account.

How to Deactivate Accounts and Purge Account Data

Deactivation closes an account and deletes all of its information from DigitalOcean.

Teams on DigitalOcean let you manage your infrastructure and billing. When you first sign up for DigitalOcean, you are the sole member and owner of a new team, where you can create resources like Droplets and start building. You can work by yourself, invite other members to join your team, and create new teams.

DigitalOcean Teams

Share access to DigitalOcean resources with multiple users without sharing login credentials or billing information.

Account Verification

Account verification is automatic and happens usually within 30 days of opening and using your account. Under some circumstances, you may be asked to provide photo ID. After you become a verified user, you can manually charge your credit card by using the Pay now button on your billing page.

Droplet and Volume Limit Increases

Once your account is verified, we will periodically increase your Droplet limit. You can also view your account or team’s Droplet limit and request an increase from your account settings page. After reviewing your request, we’ll be able to update your limit.

Before your account is verified, you can create volumes up to 500 GB in size. After your account is verified, you can create volumes of any available size.
