Your email address is your gateway to account recovery and notifications on X. If you’ve switched to a new email or just want to separate personal and business accounts, updating your email address is essential — and it’s a very simple process.

Changing your email ensures you never miss verification codes, password reset links, or important security alerts.

Here’s how to update it:

1. Log In to X
Go to x.com and sign in.

2. Go to “Settings and Privacy”
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select Settings and privacy.

3. Click “Your Account”
From the left-hand menu, select Your account, then choose Account information.

4. Enter Your Password
For security, X will ask you to re-enter your password before making changes.

5. Select “Email”
You’ll see your current email listed. Click Email to edit it.

6. Enter the New Email Address
Type your new email address and click Next.

7. Verify the New Email
Check your inbox for a confirmation email from X. Click the link inside to verify and complete the update.

Pro Tips:

  • Always use an email you have permanent access to — ideally one with 2FA enabled.

  • If you manage multiple brands, use unique emails for each account.

  • Add the new email to your contacts so you never miss messages from X.

Once verified, your new email will be active immediately, ensuring all security and login alerts go to the right place. Keeping your contact details current is one of the simplest but most effective ways to maintain control of your X account.
