# How do I change my email address?

> Change your email in Account & security. You need your current password and access to the new address. Google and Apple accounts must set a password first.

## Change the email in the app

1. Open your profile and tap the gear icon to open **Settings**.
2. Tap **Account & privacy**, then **Account & security**.
3. Under **Sign-in**, tap **Change e-mail**.
4. Enter the new email address and confirm with your 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.

## I signed up with Google or Apple

Accounts created with Google or Apple sign-in have no password yet, so the app shows **Set one first to be able to change your email**. Set a password under **Account & security**, then change the email as above. Afterwards you can sign in with the new email and your password.

If you used Apple's **Hide My Email**, your account has a private relay address. Setting a password and 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 and know your password. If you cannot sign in at all, see *I cannot sign in to my account*.

## A parent's email is on a child's account

Sign in to the child's account and change the email to the child's address using the steps above. For privacy reasons support cannot change the email of an account on request.
