Like any other social media platform, Discord allows you to change your email address.
Changing your email address on Discord can be done on your desktop and on a mobile device.
If an email address that you no longer use is linked with your Discord account, it’s recommended that you change it.
Otherwise, security alerts will be sent to your old email address instead of your new one.
As a result, you won’t be able to tell if someone is attempting to compromise your Discord account.
However, knowing your Discord password is a prerequisite for changing your email.
In addition, you need to verify your new email address to prove that you own it.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to change your email address on Discord mobile and the desktop version of Discord.
