Changing the email address of your account

When you create a new account, you can choose to sign up by entering an email address and password, or by using a social login (e.g. Google, Facebook). In either case, the email address you enter or the email address linked to your social login gets associated with your Wix account.
If you wish to change the email address associated with your Wix account, you can do so. 
Important:
  • Make sure that your new email address is a real address with no typos. Wix sends a code to this email address to verify it.
  • Each account needs a unique email address. It's not possible to use an email address that's already linked to another Wix account. 

To change your email address:

  1. Go to Account Settings in your Wix account.
  2. Click the Account email field.
  3. Enter your account password in the pop-up.
  4. Enter your new account email address.
  5. Retype your new email account email address to confirm it.
  6. Click Next.

Password tips:
When creating a secure password for your account:
  • Your password must be at least 6 characters (recommended at least 12 characters) and may contain:
    • English upper and/or lower case characters 
    • Numbers 
    • Any of the following special characters:  _ - ! @ # $ % ^ & *
  • Your password cannot contain a period (.).
  • We recommend you add a Recovery Phone Number to help you recover your account in the event you have forgotten, or lost access to, your email.
