How to change the email you sign in with
To change your own login email, go to Settings › My Profile › Security and confirm the change with a code (SMS or authenticator app). An admin can change another user's email in Settings › My Staff.

Before you start
- Changing your login email is a sensitive change: the system always asks for verification.
- You can verify with an email code, an SMS code or an authenticator app. Only the methods you've already verified are shown.
- If you no longer have access to your old email, keep your phone handy (SMS or authenticator app).
Where to find it
Settings › My Profile › Security
Step by step
Change your own email
- Open Settings and click My Profile.
- Open the Security tab.
- In the login email area, enter your new email.
- Choose how to confirm your identity (for example SMS or authenticator app) and enter the code you receive.
- If you have no other verified method, the system asks you to set up an authenticator app. Follow the on-screen steps, then finish the change.
- From now on, sign in with your new email.
Change another user's email (admins)
- Open Settings › My Staff.
- Find the user and click the pencil icon.
- Change the Email field.
- Choose one of the verification methods available for that user (email, SMS or authenticator app) and complete verification.
- Click Save and let the person know they now sign in with the new email.
Tips
- Before changing your email, set up the authenticator app so you can confirm even without access to your old inbox.
- Add your mobile number to your user record so SMS is also available.
Common problems
- The SMS or authenticator app option doesn't appear → Those methods aren't verified on your account yet. Set up the authenticator app in My Profile › Security and try again.
- I'm not getting the SMS code → Check that the number on your profile is correct and includes the country code. If not, ask an admin to fix it.
- The new email is already in use → That email belongs to another user. Use a different email or ask an admin to check.
- I don't have access to any verification method → Ask an account admin to make the change in My Staff.
