How Do I Update My Email on My Twitter Account?

Introduction

Updating your email address with X (formerly known as Twitter) helps ensure you continue receiving important account notifications, security alerts, and password reset messages.

Whether you've changed internet providers, created a new email account, or no longer have access to the address you originally registered with, use this guide to update the email on your X (Twitter) account.

Visit the X website

The easiest way to update your email on X is via the website. Open a web browser or a new browser tab. Click in the address bar and type x.com. Tap the Return or Enter key.

Enter your email or username and click Continue

You now need to sign in to your X account. On the homepage, click inside the text box and enter your X username or the email address currently associated with your account (even if you no longer have access to this email). Click the Continue button.

Alternatively, you can sign in with your phone number or your Google or Apple account by selecting one of the options at the top of the page. Follow the on-screen instructions to log in, and skip the next 2 steps.

Click Use password

The next screen may request a 6-digit one-time passcode (OTP), depending on your browser. The OTP is sent via email, so you can only sign in this way if you still have access to your old email account. X may also ask you to verify your account using your username.

Instead of using an OTP or your username, opt to sign in with your password by clicking Use password in the top-right corner of the pop-up window.

Enter your password

Enter your X account password in the relevant box and hit Continue. If you don't remember your password, choose Forgot password? and follow the instructions to recover your X account.

X will automatically send a message to your new email address. Check your inbox, junk, and spam folders for a message. Open the message and click on Verify.

You have now updated the email on your X account.
