Pinterest – How to Change Your Email Address
Without exception, the most common request is for help changing an email address on Pinterest. It seems that Pinners lose access to older email accounts and need to add a new one to their Pinterest. This presents an issue because to associate a new email with an existing Pinterest account, you will need to verify that change using the original email. So If you are changing your Pinterest email because you can no longer access that email box, then you will need the help of Pinterest tech support.
Changing your Pinterest email is very easy. Go to your settings and the very first field you see is the email address associated with that Pinterest account. Just enter the new email address and hit “Done.” That’s it! Well, almost.
To keep accounts secure, Pinterest will send out a notification email to your current {old} email address. This is done to make sure it is okay to change emails. This avoids a hacker taking over your Pinterest. Once someone changes your Pinterest email address, they can go back and reset the password. Then the account is lost.
The verification email seems to be the hang-up for Pinners. You must have access to your current email address to respond to the request from Pinterest to verify the change. If you don’t have access to the current email used for your Pinterest, then you will have to request help from Pinterest support.
