### Changing the Email Address You Sign In With

Your email address is also your sign-in username, so changing it changes how you log in as well as where your emails go.

For your security, the change does not take effect straight away — you have to confirm it from the new address first.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your profile and edit the address

Click your initials at the top right of the page, click **My Profile**, and update the **Email address** field.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save Changes

Click **Save Changes**. Your new address now shows underneath the field in orange, labelled **Pending email change**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm from your new inbox

Check the inbox of the **new** address and click the confirmation link in the email we send you.

Only once you have clicked that link does the change take effect.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Until you click that confirmation link, nothing has changed.**

You still sign in with your old email address, and your emails still go to your old inbox. If you can't sign in with your new address, this is almost always why.
{% endhint %}

#### If the confirmation email doesn't arrive

Check the junk or spam folder of the **new** address first — it's sent there, not to your old one.

If it still hasn't arrived, go back to **My Profile** and click **Resend confirmation email**, next to the pending address. Check the address for typos while you're there: if you mistyped it, simply correct it and click **Save Changes** again.
