Can I Change My ChatGPT Account’s Email Address?
Unfortunately, OpenAI does not support changing the email address associated with your ChatGPT account. If you need to use a different email address, you’ll have to sign up for a new ChatGPT account. Note that existing chat data cannot be transferred to the new account.
By following these steps, you can ensure your ChatGPT account remains secure. For the best protection, use a password manager to generate and store strong passwords.
