Hey @metalfab10, thanks for getting in touch.

You can change the email address currently associated with your Square account by logging in to your Account & Settings, and then following these steps:

Click the "Change" button next to the field where your current email address appears.
Enter your new email address twice on the confirmation pop up.
Check the inbox of your old email for a notification from Square.
Open the message and locate the code.
Enter the code in your Dashboard and confirm the action.

If you're not able to receive the verification email at your original email address, please contact our support team — we'll get it sorted out ASAP. Find more information and step-by-steps in our Support Center article:

Edit Your Account and Business Settings

That should do it! If you run into any trouble, please feel free to let us know! 🙂

Tom, Any ideas how I can change my email address (Bendbroadband) in Square without going to my old email account which has been closed (comcast)? Square keeps saying I have to verify the account in my old email first. It is closed.

Hi @deborahahall — Welcome to the Seller Community, and I'm happy to point you in the right direction. It looks like another seller had the same question for Tom in another thread, and received an answer. Check out that thread! 🙂

Thank you for your fast replay. However, mine is a different issue--I cannot get to my old email account to verify the new one. The old email is CLOSED.

The support center is useless!! The customer code I was isued would NOT work. I just keep getting rerouted back to email, which doesn't work or community forum.

@deborahahall - Happy to follow up, and apologies for the trouble! As Tom mentioned above, if you're not able to receive the verification email at your original email address, we'll have to work with you directly to update this. Since you're having an issue getting your customer code, I went ahead and emailed you those details. We look forward to chatting with you to help update this email address. 🙂

I am having the same issue. I was unaware that the original e-mail registered to the account is inactive, therefore I am unable to receive any notifications to change the e-mail.

Thank you!

@HawaiiNSSLHA - It's kind of a catch 22, I totally understand. It really is an important security measure that prevents unauthorized access to your account. If you can reach out directly, we're happy to work with you one-on-one to manually update this information.

I can't get in to my old email box to get the verification code. The address given you was wrong which is why I need to change it to the proper one

Re: need to change my email

Dancing-bear — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:22:12 GMT

So what do I do?

@Dancing-bear - If you can reach out directly, a supported can work with you to update this manually. Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to change my email address because my old email was hacked and now is disabled. I CANNOT access my old email. How do I receive an access code? Can Square text the code to me?

In order to change my email address, you send a verification to my old address. But I do not have that address anymore, so I can't get the code!

So how can I get you to send me the code to my current email address?

Your "click here" for help link only send me back to where I started and is not helpful!

Re: need to change my email

Tom — Sat, 03 Dec 2016 01:21:58 GMT

Hey @MSS — sorry to hear about the situation you're in with the login email. We'll need to get you in touch with a team member so that they can get this sorted out for you. Please contact our Support Team directly and provide both of your email addresses. They'll get back to you with next steps ASAP.

Helppppp!

I can no longer access the email associated with my account. So, I cannot use the suggested way to change my email. I went to the community board & read that some people had success by contacting customer support. I found the support phone number, called & a recording told me that I needed a customer code. So I did what was asked, but cannot get a customer code. So I'm stuck & need help asap!

Please tell me how to proceed, I need access to my account badly!

Thanks in advance,

Sheryl
