In this article, we will guide you through the steps involved in changing the email address on your Amazon account, ensuring a seamless transition and uninterrupted access to all the benefits of your Amazon account.

Before we begin, it’s important to note that changing the email address associated with your Amazon account will impact various aspects of your account, including order notifications, customer support communication, and login credentials. Therefore, it’s crucial to have access to the new email address and ensure it is active and secure. Now let’s dive into the step-by-step process of changing your email address on Amazon.

Step 1: Sign in to your Amazon account

The first step to changing your email address on Amazon is to sign in to your account. Open your preferred web browser and visit the Amazon website. Click on the “Sign In” button located at the top-right corner of the homepage. Enter your current email address or phone number associated with your Amazon account, followed by your password. Click on the “Sign in” button to access your account.

If you have forgotten your password, click on the “Forgot your password?” link and follow the instructions to reset it. Once you have successfully signed in to your Amazon account, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Go to your account settings

After signing in to your Amazon account, hover over the “Account & Lists” option located at the top-right corner of the page. A drop-down menu will appear. From the menu, select “Your Account” to access your account settings.

Once you are on the “Your Account” page, scroll down to the section titled “Settings.” Under this section, click on the “Login & security” option. This will take you to the settings page where you can manage various aspects of your Amazon account, including your email address.

Step 3: Edit your email address

In the “Login & security” settings page, you will find a section titled “Login & security settings.” Under this section, locate the “Email addresses” option and click on “Edit” next to it. This will allow you to edit the email address associated with your Amazon account.

On the “Edit Email Addresses” page, you will see your current email address listed, along with an option to add a new email address. Click on the “Add another email address” button to proceed.

A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to enter your new email address. Type in the new email address you want to associate with your Amazon account and click on the “Add another email” button to continue.

Amazon will send a verification email to the new email address you provided. Open your email inbox, find the email from Amazon, and click on the verification link included in the email. This link will confirm your ownership of the new email address.

Step 4: Make the new email address your primary address

Once you have verified your new email address, return to the “Edit Email Addresses” page on Amazon. You will see your newly added email address listed. Click on the “Make primary” button next to the new email address to make it the primary address associated with your Amazon account.

By making the new email address your primary address, you ensure that all future communications and notifications from Amazon will be sent to this email. You can also choose to remove your old email address from the account if you no longer require it.

Step 5: Confirm the email address change

After making the new email address your primary address, Amazon will prompt you to re-enter your account password for security purposes. Enter your password in the designated field, and click on the “Save changes” button to confirm the email address change.

Once you click on “Save changes,” Amazon will update your account with the new email address. You will receive a confirmation message indicating that your email address has been successfully changed. From that point forward, all communications and notifications from Amazon will be sent to your new email address.

It’s important to note that changing your email address does not automatically update the email address associated with your Amazon login credentials. If you have saved your Amazon login information in your web browser or password manager, make sure to update it with the new email address to avoid any login issues in the future.
