Did you link an old email address to your Coinbase account?
Or maybe you no longer use the email address that you linked to your account.
If that’s the case, you might be looking to change your email.
Like other cryptocurrency exchanges, you’re given the ability to edit your profile information on Coinbase.
Your profile information includes your name, phone number, email, and more
However, most exchanges only support the changing of your email on their website and not their mobile app.

How to change your email on Coinbase
To change your email on Coinbase, you need to log in to the Coinbase website and navigate to the settings page.
Once you’re on the settings page, you’ll be able to change your email address by deleting your old email address and entering a new one.
After you’ve entered a new email address, click on “Save”.
Then, there will be a pop-up message saying that you need to confirm the email address change on both of your email addresses.
To do so, check the inbox of your old email address and confirm the email address change.
Next, check the inbox of your new email address and confirm the email address change.
Once you’ve confirmed the email address change from both of your email addresses, your email on Coinbase will be changed.
Here’s how you can change your email on Coinbase:
- Log in to the Coinbase website & click on the menu icon
- Click on “Settings”
- Enter a new email address
- Check your old email & confirm the change
- Check your new email & confirm the change
1. Log in to the Coinbase website & click on the menu icon
Firstly, head on over to the Coinbase website.
You can go to the Coinbase website on a desktop or on a mobile browser.
However, you cannot use the Coinbase mobile app for this.
This is because the Coinbase mobile app does not support an email address change.
Hence, if you want to change your email address, you need to use the web version of Coinbase instead.
Once you’re on the Coinbase website, log in to your account.
Then, click on the menu icon on the top navigation bar.
If you’re using Coinbase on a desktop, click on your profile icon instead.
2. Click on “Settings”
After you’ve clicked on the menu icon or the profile icon, a navigation menu will open.
The navigation menu contains several options including ” Home”, “Portfolio”, “Prices”, and more.
Scroll down to the bottom of the navigation menu until you find a “Settings” option.
Click on “Settings” to go to the settings page.
If you’re using Coinbase on a desktop, click on “Settings” as well.
3. Enter a new email address
After you’ve clicked on “Settings”, you’ll land on the settings page.
On the settings page, you’ll see your profile information such as your profile picture, display name, and email address.
Your email address can be seen under your display name.
The email address that is displayed is the email address that you’ve linked to Coinbase.
To change it, you need to delete it.
Then, enter the email address that you want to change your Coinbase email to.
However, if you no longer have access to your old email address, you won’t be able to change your email.
Instead, you’ll have to click on the “I can no longer access this email” link and contact Coinbase for assistance.
If you still have access to your old email address, simply click on “Save” to change it to a new one.
4. Check your old email & confirm the change
After you’ve entered a new email address and saved it, a pop-up message will appear.
The pop-up message says that you’re required to confirm the email address change on both your old and new email addresses.
Firstly, open the inbox of your old email address and look for the email with the “Email change request” subject line.
Then, open the email and read the information provided.
Make sure that the message displays the correct email address that you want to change your Coinbase email to.
Next, click on “Yes, Change My Email Address” to confirm the email address change.
5. Check your new email & confirm the change
After you’ve confirmed the email address change in your old email, you need to confirm it in your new email as well.
Log in to your new email address and open your inbox.
Next, look for the email with the “Email change request” subject line.
Then, open the email and read the information provided.
Make sure that the message displays the correct email address that you want to change your Coinbase email to.
Lastly, click on “Yes, Change My Email Address” to confirm the email address change.
Once you’ve confirmed the email address change in both of your email addresses, your Coinbase email will be successfully changed.
To confirm the change, go to your Coinbase settings and view the email address that is displayed on the “Email Address” field.
If the email address displayed on the “Email Address” field is your new email, you’ve successfully changed your Coinbase email!
Conclusion
Changing your email frequently is not recommended.
Instead, you should have a main email address that you check on a daily basis.
That way, you won’t miss out on any important emails.
You can easily change 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 changing your email.
This is because you won’t be able to receive the “Email change request” email from Coinbase.
