You can edit a contact’s first name, last name, account, and active status. You cannot edit the email address or password. Contacts who forget their passwords must click the Forgotten Password link on the store’s login page and enter their login email address. Commerce Cloud sends a link to the email address. The contact clicks the link to reset their password. If the link has expired when the contact clicks it, they see a page where they can request a new link.
To edit a contact do the following:
Click the menu icon, then click Accounts.
Click the New Contact button.
Enter the information for the new contact. See the two tables that follow this procedure for information about each field.
Once you have made your changes, click Save.
Refer to the Configure the password policy section for information on resetting contact passwords.
The following table describes the contact’s General properties.

Last Name | The last name of the contact. This field is required. |
First Name | The first name of the contact. This field is required. |
Email Address/Login ID | The email address of the contact. The contact uses this email address to log into your store.
