Can't change the email address on your account

Most services require you to check the new email address before the change goes through. After entering your new email, check that email's inbox (and spam folder) for a confirmation link and click it. If the field is greyed out, your account is managed by your employer or school.

Changing your email address on an account involves entering the new address and then confirming it by clicking a link sent to the new email. If the change isn't working, either the confirmation email hasn't been clicked, it went to spam, or the account is managed by your organisation. Some services also require you to enter your password before allowing the change.
