How can I change the email associated with my API account?

Learn how updating your email address in ChatGPT account settings also updates the email associated with your API account.

Updated: 2 days ago

ChatGPT and the API Platform share one account. Changing its email in ChatGPT also updates your API sign-in.

Before you begin

You need access to your current email inbox. Without it, email changes are unsupported, including through OpenAI Support.

Self-service email changes require all three:

  • You have never used single sign-on (SSO) to sign in.

  • You do not belong to an Enterprise workspace or organization.

  • Your current email domain has not been verified for an Enterprise or Business customer.

For SCIM-managed accounts, your administrator handles identity changes. See managed-account requirements.

The new address cannot already belong to another OpenAI account. If you originally signed up through Google, Microsoft or Apple, add a password in Settings → Account before changing your email.

Change your email

  • Sign in to ChatGPT on the web. The iOS and Android apps do not support email changes.

  • Open

    Settings → Account

    and select your email address.

  • Enter the new address and follow the verification prompts.

  • After being signed out, use the new email to sign back in.

If you can’t change your email, see the full email-change guide for other options.
