## Overview

The Member Account Block is a block designed to display essential account details for members who have logged in. This creates a personal experience for members, showing information like the member's username, email address, and their public name used for commenting.

{% hint style="info" %}
Members can change their **Commenting** name when commenting on a page with a [Comment Block](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types/comment-block).
{% endhint %}

This block can only function properly when placed on a space within a **Member Area,** as it relies on the logged-in user's data.&#x20;

## Member Account Block Settings

### Details Tab

Use the details tab to set a **internal display name** and description for the block. This will help keep your **Block Library** organized.&#x20;

### Design Tab

All blocks contain Block Design and Block Content settings. These control how the block fits into the page itself. This may include:

* Adding background colors, padding, classes, or IDs to the block
* Changing the width of the block, and how it fits into your page

More information about Block Design and Block Content settings can be found [here](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types/..#common-block-settings).

{% hint style="success" %}
**Pro Tips**: If you are looking to add more Member-specific details to your page, please consider adding [an HTML](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types/html-block) block and Replacement Variables to show everything from Username to whether they are a Trial or Full member.
