How to change your sign-in email
Change the email you sign in with, confirmed by a 6-digit code sent to the new address.
You sign in to Tarkle with your email address. To use a different address, change it on the Personal account page and confirm it with a code sent to the new address. Your old email keeps working until you enter that code.
Steps
Open the menu. In the sidebar, click the block that shows your photo and name.
Open Personal account. Click Personal account.
Type the new address. In the Basics card, replace the address in Email with the new one.
Click Save changes. A dialog opens. It says a code goes to the new address and that your old email stays active until you enter it.
Click Send code. A 6-digit code is emailed to the new address.
Enter the code. Open the email at the new address and type the 6-digit code into the Email change code field. The Change email button stays disabled until all 6 digits are entered.
Click Change email. When the code is accepted, "Your email address was changed." appears.
The email changes only after the code is accepted. A notice then goes to your old address to say the email was changed, and you sign in with the new address.
Limits that can stop the change
Code lifetime. A code is valid for 10 minutes and works once. A code that has expired gets the message "That code did not work. Check it and try again."
Code requests. You can request 4 codes per account in 10 minutes, and 15 per internet address in the same time. Past that, you see "Too many attempts. Please try again in a few minutes."
Wrong codes. After 5 wrong codes, the code stops working, even if you then type it correctly. You see "Too many wrong codes. Ask for a new one."
Getting a new code. The dialog has no resend button. Click Cancel, then click Save changes and Send code again. Only the newest code works.
Address already in use. If another account uses the new address, you see "This email address is already in use". Enter a different address.
Second sign-in step. If your account has an authenticator app or a passkey turned on, you must finish that second sign-in step in your session before you can open Personal account. You are sent to the sign-in page for it, and no code is sent until it is done.
Email is also read-only when your account was created with Google.
What happens next
Sign in with the new address next time. If you did not make the change, the notice sent to your old address tells you to contact support right away.
