How to change the email address for your account

In some cases, you can use a different email address (username) to identify your Google Account.

What this email address is

• When you’re signed in, your email address shows next to your name and profile photo. To find your email address, select your Profile picture or initial.
• You can sign in with it.
• It’s where you get important information about most Google services you use, unless you’ve added a contact email.

Learn how to use different email addresses on your account.

1. On your computer, go to your Google Account.
2. On the left navigation panel, click Personal info.
3. Under “Contact info,” click Email.
4. Select Google Account email. If you can’t open this setting, it might not be possible to change your email or username.
   • If your account’s email address ends in @gmail.com, you usually can’t change it.
