How to Change Your Email Address on Google

Changing the email address associated with your Google Account is a sensitive process, and Google has certain restrictions in place to protect the security of your account. If you want to change the email address linked to your Google Account, here are the general steps to follow:

1. Open your Google Account Settings:
   • Visit the Google Account management page: https://myaccount.google.com/.
   • If you’re not already signed in, log in with your existing Google Account credentials.
2. Access the “Personal info” Section:
   • In the left sidebar, click on “Personal info.”
3. Click on “Email”:
   • Scroll down to the “Email” section and click on “Email.”
4. Add a New Email Address:
   • Click on “Add Email” or “Edit” to add a new email address.
5. Enter the New Email Address:
   • Enter the new email address you want to associate with your Google Account.
6. Verify the New Email Address:
   • Google will send a verification code to the new email address. Check your new email inbox for the verification code.
   • Enter the verification code in the Google Account settings to confirm the ownership of the new email address.
7. Set the New Email Address as Primary:
   • After verification, you’ll have the option to set the new email address as the primary email for your Google Account.
8. Remove the Old Email Address (Optional):
   • If you want to remove the old email address, you can do so after ensuring that the new email is successfully added and verified.
9. Review Security Settings:
   • Go to the “Security” section in your Google Account settings to review and update any security settings related to the email change.

It’s important to note that changing the primary email address is different from creating a new Google Account. Changing the primary email address only affects the way you sign in to your existing account.

Additionally, remember that Google services and third-party apps linked to your Google Account may require you to sign in again using the new email address.

Always ensure you have access to the recovery options associated with your Google Account, such as a recovery phone number or alternate email address, in case you encounter any issues during the process.
