Looking for a specific section?

You can easily update your account profile and communication preferences in your Liquid Web account. Just log into your Liquid Web account and navigate to the Account section and click on the Profile tab.

Account overview

Account Preferences

The first section is your account Preferences, here you control how you authenticate your account, view your server zone and can control how and when Liquid Web communicates information regarding promotions and news.

Edit Your Support Passphrase

Liquid Web requires anyone contacting us to authenticate their account to receive any nonpublic information about a website, server or account. To authenticate, you will need to provide your Support Passphrase any time you call for support or contact us via LiveChat outside your Liquid Web account.

A generic passphrase is generated when you open an account with Liquid Web. For security purposes, we ask that you change the phrase to one that is unique to you. This will help you remember the passphrase and keep your account secure.
  1. At the top of the Profile section, you will find the Support Passphrase for your account.
  2. Click on the Edit button to change this phrase to something easy for you to remember.
  3. You can either click Save after you update your Passphrase or continue to update additional preferences in this section.
