How do I change my email address?

Change your email in Account & security. You normally do not need to enter your password. Some child accounts do not show the email-change option.

Change the email in the app

  1. Open your profile and tap the gear icon to open Settings.
  2. Under Account & privacy, tap Account & security.
  3. Under Sign-in, tap Change e-mail.
  4. Enter the new email address under New e-mail. You normally do not need to enter your password. If your app still asks for it, enter your current password.
  5. Open the verification link we send to the new address.

Your notes, folders, streak and subscription stay with the account. Only the login email changes.

Change the email on the website

  1. Sign in on knowunity.com and open Profile.
  2. Under Account & privacy, open Account & security. Under Sign-in, find Change email address.
  3. Enter the new address and tap Save.
  4. Open the confirmation email we send to the new address.

I signed up with Google or Apple

Set a password under Account & security before you change the email. Then you can still sign in with the new email and your password.

If you used Apple's Hide My Email, your account has a private relay address. Changing the email replaces it with your real address.

I no longer have access to the old email

You do not need the old inbox to change the email. You only need to be signed in. If you cannot sign in at all, see I cannot sign in to my account.

The change-email option is missing

Some child accounts do not show Change e-mail in the app. If the option is missing, use the support form to ask for help with your account.
