# How do I change my email address?

### Two lines, two roles

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

* **Login identifier** — 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 identifier is an email address, the two lines refer to the same address: the contact email shows « Same as your login identifier » and is edited from the line above.

### Changing your login identifier

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

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

As long as the new address is not confirmed, the status « pending confirmation » is displayed under the relevant line, and the old address remains your identifier.

### Changing your contact email

This line is edited separately when your login identifier 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 identifier, the new address is confirmed by email.

### SSO restriction

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

### What the assistant can do

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