How To Change Your Email Address

crystal Nov 30, 2008

How do I change my email address?

Twitter uses your email address to let you know about changes to your account. Change your email address in your account settings page.

 



When you have entered your new email address in the 'Email' field, click 'Save.'



A dialog box will then appear asking you to confirm your Twitter password.  Enter your password in the box and click the 'Save changes' button.  After you do so, a yellow box will appear above the area where you typed your email field, notifying you that a confirmation email has been sent to the new address you have chosen.  If you do not click the link in the confirmation email, the changes you made to your email will not be saved - in other words, emails sent to you by Twitter will continue to go to your original email address.

Twitter never shares your email address with third parties.  Friends using the contact import feature to find email contacts may locate your profile if you are one of their contacts, but your email address will never be revealed. We've recently added password verification for email address or user name changes as a measure of security.
