# How do I change my email address?

### Two lines, two roles

In **Settings** > **Account**, the email address appears under two separate lines:

* **Login ID** — what you enter on the login page. It is an email address, or a username if your organization has assigned you one.
* **Contact email** — the address that receives notifications and the password reset link.

As long as your login ID is an email address, the two lines refer to the same address: the contact email shows “Same as your login ID” and is edited from the line above.

### Changing your login ID

Go to **Settings** > **Account** > **Login ID**.

1. Click the edit button
2. Enter the new email address, or the new username
3. If it's an email address, a confirmation email is sent to that address
4. Click the confirmation link in the email received

As long as the new address is not confirmed, the status “pending confirmation” appears under the relevant line, and the old address remains your ID.

### Changing your contact email

This line is edited separately when your login ID is a username. Providing a contact email lets you receive Steeple notifications and reset your password yourself, without going through an administrator.

As with the ID, the new address is confirmed by email.

### SSO restriction

Neither the login ID nor the contact email can be changed for members of communities using SSO authentication: the address is managed by the identity provider, and rewritten at each synchronization.

### What the assistant can do

The assistant cannot change a user's login ID or contact email. It can explain the procedure and the difference between the two.
