Do you need to change the email address associated with your Amazon account? Maybe you’ve gotten a new email address, or maybe you just want to use a different one for your Amazon account. Whatever the reason, changing your Amazon email address is a quick and easy process. Here’s how to do it:
Log in to your Amazon account. Once you’re logged in, click on “Your Account” in the top right corner of the page. From there, click on “Login & security.” On the “Login & security” page, you’ll see your current email address listed under “Email address.” To change your email address, click on the “Edit” button next to your current email address. Enter your new email address in the “New email address” field and then click on the “Save changes” button. Amazon will send a verification email to your new email address. Click on the link in the verification email to confirm your new email address. Once you’ve confirmed your new email address, it will become the primary email address associated with your Amazon account.
There are a few things to keep in mind when changing your Amazon email address. First, you’ll need to have access to the new email address that you want to use. Second, if you have any subscriptions or other services that are linked to your Amazon account, you’ll need to update your email address with those services. Finally, if you’re using a third-party app to access your Amazon account, you’ll need to update your email address in the app’s settings.

Additional Security Measures
Once you’ve changed your email address, it’s important to take additional security measures to protect your Amazon account:
1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to enter a code sent to your phone or email when you log in. This makes it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your account, even if they have your password.
2. Set Up Account Alerts
Set up account alerts to receive notifications about important account activity, such as logins from unknown devices or changes to your payment information. This will help you stay informed about any suspicious activity and respond quickly.
3. Regularly Review Your Account Settings
Periodically review your account settings to ensure that your personal information is up to date and that no unauthorized changes have been made. Pay attention to any unfamiliar devices or payment methods listed in your account.
4. Use a Strong Password
Create a strong password that is unique to your Amazon account and not used for any other online service. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to make your password more difficult to guess.
5. Be Cautious of Phishing Emails
Be wary of emails that claim to be from Amazon but ask you to provide personal information or click on suspicious links. Do not respond to such emails or visit any websites linked in them, as they may be attempts to steal your account information.
6. Keep Your Devices Secure
Ensure that your computer and other devices are protected with up-to-date antivirus software and firewalls. Avoid downloading software from untrustworthy sources and be cautious about granting permissions to apps on your devices.
7. Manage Your Amazon Login History
Review your login history to monitor your account activity. If you notice any unrecognized logins or devices, contact Amazon immediately and take steps to secure your account. Additionally, you can log out of all devices remotely to prevent unauthorized access.

| Mobile Phone | Today, 8:30 AM | 10.0.0.1 | Your City, Your Country |
Using an Email Alias
An email alias is a secondary email address that you can create to use with your Amazon account. This can be useful if you want to keep your personal email address private or if you want to use a different email address for different purposes. To create an email alias, follow these steps:
1. Go to the “Your Account” page on Amazon.com.
2. Click on the “Login & security” tab.
