I'm also having problems. I changed my email address, but didn't receive any email to confirm the change. Now, when I try to log in with the new email it says the email exists but I can't log in with it. The old email apparently continues to work. What is wrong?

I see no email choice! I'm not trying to be difficult, I just want to update my email, but I see no option there.

Also you said Account Management - this is not a category anywhere, just: "Account."

Thanks.

nothing is working for me. I did all that - how can you get to that page? I couldn't find a link anywhere else!

Anyway, I put in my new email,and rebooted and checked and t=nothing has changed; in addition, my old email is still listed as a URL in a red box! But entering the new email did not seem to work at all, as on another page, my email was shown as the old one.

Thanks.

Well that won't work, will it!

It said it sent an email to both accounts! One is dead! I can't access that account!

I don't know what to do.

NOPE. Doesn't work. I put in the old email and it rejected it. I put in the new and it rejected it. I can't change the password because i can't verify/access the old email. I can't request a change - already tried - because the old email can't verify.

Since the error does not specify whether the email OR the PW is wrong, I'm at a loss for what to do. Can't you guys just make this process simpler? I've been days and days trying to simply change an email address.

What's left now for options?

Thanks.

Update:

After receiving an email from support I was able to make changes to my account details and use the new email.

I appreciate the help. I found the procedure to simply update an email very hard to do, just my opinion. However, I also very much appreciate the community 's help achieving that goal.

Thank you.
