Changing the email on your account

Last updated

IN SHORT

You change your Flashcloud account email from the Account page: enter the new address, then click the verification link Flashcloud sends to it. Nothing else changes: your password, two-factor authentication, services, domains, and billing stay the same. The email is only a label.

Your account email is where invoices, renewal reminders, and password reset links go — and it's also the email you use to sign in. Updating it takes a minute.

How to change it

  1. Sign in and go to the Account page.
  2. Click the Email field and replace it with the new address.
  3. Confirm the change. We'll send a verification message to the new email.
  4. Click the link in the verification message.
  5. Done. Future sign-ins, invoices, and notifications go to the new address.

Why we verify

We send a confirmation link to the new email before activating it. This ensures:

  • You actually own the new address (not a typo).
  • Someone who briefly accessed your account can't redirect emails to themselves and lock you out.

If you don't click the verification link within 24 hours, the change is dropped and your old email keeps working.

What changes when your email changes

  • Where invoices and reminders go — to the new address.
  • What you sign in with — the new address becomes your sign-in email.
  • Where password reset links go — the new address.

What doesn't change: your password, your two-factor authentication, your services, your domains, your billing details. The email is just a label.

"I can't access my old email anymore"

If you've lost access to the email currently on your account — different job, abandoned address, etc. — you can't use the self-service flow because we send the verification link to the old address.

Open a ticket with our support team. We'll verify your identity (recent invoices, payment method last-4, account details) and update the email manually.

Multiple emails on one account

We support one primary email per account. For larger teams or organizations that want multiple people to receive billing and support notifications, the better fit is:

  • Forward your account email to a shared mailbox (billing@yourcompany.com) or a distribution list.
  • Use a generic alias as your account email so it doesn't depend on a single person.

If you want CC'd contacts on tickets specifically (e.g., a developer who handles support), you can add CCs to a ticket from its detail page.

Common questions

How do I change the email on my Flashcloud account?

Sign in, go to the Account page, and replace the address in the Email field. Confirm the change, then click the verification link Flashcloud sends to the new address to activate it.

Why do I need to verify the new email before it works?

Verification proves you actually own the new address and stops someone with brief account access from redirecting your emails and locking you out. If you don't click the link within 24 hours, the change is dropped and your old email keeps working.

What happens to my password and two-factor authentication when I change my email?

They stay exactly the same. Your password, two-factor authentication, services, domains, and billing details don't change. Only your sign-in address, and where invoices and notifications go, updates.

What if I can't access my old email anymore?

You can't use the self-service flow, since the verification link goes to the old address. Open a ticket with Flashcloud support, and the team will verify your identity with recent invoices or payment method last-4 and update the email manually.

Can I have more than one email on my Flashcloud account?

No, Flashcloud supports one primary email per account. For teams, forward that email to a shared mailbox or distribution list, or use a generic alias so it doesn't depend on one person; you can also add CCs to individual tickets from the ticket's detail page.
