Or maybe you no longer use the email address you linked to your account.
If so, you may want to edit your email.
Like other cryptocurrency exchanges, you are given the option to edit your profile information on Coinbase.
Your profile information includes your name, phone number, email, and more
However, most exchanges only support editing your email on their website and not on their mobile app.

How to Edit Your Email on Coinbase
To edit your email on Coinbase, you need to log in to the Coinbase website and go to the settings page.
Once you are on the settings page, you will be able to change your email address by deleting your old email address and entering a new one.
After entering a new email address, click “Save”.
Then, there will be a pop-up message saying that you need to confirm the change of email address on both email addresses.
To do this, check the inbox of your old email address and confirm the change in your email address.
Then, check the inbox of your new email address and confirm the change in your email address.
Once you confirm the change of email address from both of your email addresses, your email on Coinbase will be changed.
Here’s how you can edit your email on Coinbase:
1. Log in to the Coinbase website and click on the menu icon
First, go to coinbase’s website.
You can visit Coinbase’s website on a desktop or mobile browser.
However, you can’t use the Coinbase mobile app for this.
This is because the Coinbase mobile app does not support an email address change.
So if you want to change your email address, you need to use the web version of Coinbase instead.
Once you are on the Coinbase website, log in to your account.
Then, click on the menu icon in the top navigation bar.
If you are using Coinbase on a desktop, click on your profile icon.
2. Click on “Settings”
After clicking on the menu icon or profile icon, a navigation menu will open.
The navigation menu contains several options including “Home”, “Portfolio”, “Pricing” and more.
Scroll down to the bottom of the navigation menu until you find a “Settings” option.
Click “Settings” to go to the settings page.
If you are using Coinbase on a desktop, click “Settings” as well.
3. Enter a new email address
After clicking on “Settings”, you will land on the settings page.
On the settings page, you’ll see your profile information like your profile picture, display name, and email address.
Your email address can be viewed below your display name.
The email address displayed is the email address you linked to Coinbase.
To change it, you need to delete it.
Then, enter the email address where you want to change your Coinbase email.
However, if you no longer have access to your old email address, you won’t be able to edit your email.
Instead, you’ll need to click on the “I can’t access this email anymore” link and contact Coinbase for assistance.
If you still have access to your old email address, simply click “Save” to change it to a new one.
4. Check your old email and confirm the change
After entering a new email address and saving it, a pop-up message will appear.
The pop-up message says that you are prompted to confirm the change of email address on both the old and new email address.
First, open the inbox of your old email address and look for the email with the subject line “Email change request”.
Then, open the email and read the information provided.
Make sure the message displays the correct email address where you want to change your Coinbase email.
Then, click “Yes, change my email address” to confirm the change of email address.
5. Check your new email and confirm the change
After confirming the change of the email address in the old email, you need to confirm it in the new email as well.
Sign in to your new email address and open your inbox.
Then, look for the email with the subject line “Email change request”.
Then, open the email and read the information provided.
Make sure the message displays the correct email address where you want to change your Coinbase email.
Finally, click “Yes, change my email address” to confirm the change of email address.
Once you confirm the change of the email address in both of your email addresses, your Coinbase email will be successfully changed.
To confirm the change, go to Coinbase’s settings and view the email address displayed in the “Email Address” field.
If the email address displayed in the “Email Address” field is your new email, you have successfully edited your Coinbase email!
Conclusion
We do not recommend that you change your e-mail frequently.
Instead, you should have a primary email address that you check daily.
This way, you won’t miss any important emails.
You can easily edit your Coinbase email by following the guide above.
However, if you don’t have access to your old email, you need to contact Coinbase support for assistance in editing your email.
This is because you won’t be able to receive the “Email Change Request” email from Coinbase.
