How to change the email ID of your Samsung account
Your Samsung account allows you to change the email address used as your login ID. The email ID is used for sign-in, notifications, and account security management. You can manage your Samsung Account email ID anytime to keep your personal information and access secure across all Samsung services.
Key uses of your Samsung account email address
- Login ID: Serves as a unique identifier when signing in to Samsung services.
- Notifications: Security alerts, login notifications, account updates, and marketing emails (if opted in) are sent to your registered email address.
- Password recovery and verification: Used for identity verification and to recover your account through email authentication.
Checks before changing your email ID
1. The new email address must be valid and able to receive verification emails.
Samsung requires verification through the current email address before changing it. Make sure your current address can receive emails before proceeding.
2. The new email address must not be already in use for another Samsung service and must be valid for authentication.
