Changing your Snapchat email when logged out of your account can be tricky, but it is possible. Here is a step-by-step guide to walk you through the process.
Why Change Your Snapchat Email?
There are a few reasons you may want to change the email associated with your Snapchat account:
- You no longer have access to the email on file
- You want to use a new or different email address
- Your email was compromised and you want to secure your account
Having an updated, safe email linked to your Snapchat account is important for protecting your privacy and ensuring you can reset your password if needed.
Requirements for Changing Snapchat Email
To change your Snapchat email when logged out, you will need:
- The phone number associated with your Snapchat account
- Access to the email inbox for your current Snapchat email
- The new email address you want to use
Snapchat requires email confirmation before allowing changes, so you need to be able to access both emails during the process.
Step 1: Request Password Reset
Since you are logged out, you will need to begin by resetting your Snapchat password:
- Go to Snapchat’s login page.
- Click on “Forgot My Password”.
- Enter the phone number associated with your Snapchat account and click Submit.
- Snapchat will send a reset link to your current Snapchat email on file.
This kicks off the process of verifying account ownership so you can make changes.
Step 2: Reset Your Password
Once you receive the password reset email from Snapchat:
- Open the email and click on the password reset link.
- You will be directed to a page to create a new password.
- Enter and confirm your new desired password and click Submit.
You should now be logged into your Snapchat account with the new password.
Step 3: Enter New Email Address
With access to your Snapchat account, you can now change the email:
- Tap your profile icon in the top left corner.
- Select the gear icon to access Settings.
- Tap “Email” under the “Account Actions” section.
- Enter the new email address you want to use.
- Tap “Continue” to confirm the change.
Snapchat will now send a verification email to your new address to confirm.
Step 4: Confirm Email Change
To complete the email change process:
- Open the confirmation email sent to your new email address.
- Click the verification link inside.
- A popup will confirm your new Snapchat email is verified.
You have now successfully changed your Snapchat email, even while logged out!
Signing Back Into Snapchat
Now when you go to log into Snapchat:
- Use your username and new password you created earlier.
- Enter the updated email address on the account.
You should now have access to your Snapchat account with the revised email.
