# Changing your login email now actually changes it

> The email field in My Account used to update only the address shown on screen, leaving the address you sign in with untouched.

## What this solves

If you edited your email in My Account, the page confirmed the change and showed the new address everywhere — but you still had to sign in with the old one. Anyone who trusted the confirmation found themselves locked out, and some created a second, empty account because the new address was not recognised at sign-in. Notifications could also go to an address that was no longer the one on the account.

## What changed

- My Account now has its own **Login Email** card, and it is the only place the sign-in address is changed.
- Changing it sends a confirmation link to the new address. The sign-in address moves only once you open that link, and the card shows a reminder while confirmation is still pending.
- The email shown in the Profile and Contact cards is now read-only and always matches the address you actually sign in with.
- "Send reset link" now always sends to your real sign-in address.
- Accounts whose displayed address had already drifted from their sign-in address have been put back in step.

## Where to find it

My Account → Profile tab → the **Login Email** card.

## Useful for

Anyone moving to a new work address, and teams whose members change name or company domain and need notifications to keep arriving.
